if you want to know what career opportunities are available in the natural gas industry, ask a student of the Tom Dunn Energy Leadership Academy.

High school students from across West Virginia came to Buckhannon for three days to learn about the industry. They heard from professionals responsible for tending wells, marketing gas, servicing the industry and environmental protection.

Tara, environmental specialist for Williams, participated in this presentation. She emphasized the important role environmental protection plays at Williams. “We start with environmental concerns around permitting and we end with the environment by ensuring reclamation is complete,” Tara says.

We enjoyed participating in this wonderful, educational event.
