FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NAPE is pleased to announce that Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska and first female vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party, will give the keynote address at NAPE’s Decision Maker’s Breakfast in Houston on February 12 at the Hilton Americas. The Decision Maker’s Breakfast takes place during the annual NAPE Summit, the world’s largest upstream expo. Each year, the networking breakfast hosts a prominent speaker to examine key issues facing the oil and gas industry.
“We are honored to have Governor Palin keynote the annual Decision Maker’s Breakfast and share her valuable insights gained from her political career,” said Marty Schardt, executive vice president of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL). “From serving as chair of Alaska’s powerful Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she earned public praise for whistle blowing on corruption issues, to being the first female and youngest Governor of Alaska, her experience has provided her a unique perspective on industry. I know NAPE attendees will find her policy knowledge and industry outlook to be of great value.”
Known as a fearless and independent trailblazer – and named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” Governor Palin has the distinctive ability to unite, engage and attract audiences as she shares her insight into the issues facing our country today. At the 2015 Decision Maker’s Breakfast, she will address today’s critical issues such as energy independence as well as her perspective on current politics and the 2016 elections.
