The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation Board of Directors elected new leadership at Thursday’s board of directors meeting.

Doug Smith was elected as board chair, Dan Coffey was elected for vice chair and Warren Christian was selected as secretary and treasurer.

Joe Dubler was named interim president for the board. Dubler held senior leadership positions for the corporation between 2010 and 2016, serving as vice president of commercial operations and chief financial officer.

Dubler is replacing the former president of the board, Keith Meyer.

“Joe has the right experience to advance AGDC’s mission of commercializing Alaska’s vast but stranded North Slope gas supply for the benefit of all Alaskans, including access to affordable, cleaner, reliable energy and new revenue to fuel Alaska’s future,” board chair Doug Smith said in a press release about the leadership change.
