Keynote Session
"Managing the Course of Change" Featuring Charles T. Drevna, NPRA President The 2008 elections portend significant changes for the hydrocarbon process industries. Issues that affect operations such as limits on carbon dioxide emissions, plant security, and renewable fuel mandates are driven by legislative and regulatory bodies whose changing composition will result in new objectives and new requirements for industry. NPRA’s President will describe the challenges that we face, the new initiatives that may come out of the 2008 elections, and NPRA’s strategy for managing these changes. |
