If you were at the Energy Alumni happy hour on July 21 at O'Malley's, you know we enjoyed a great time and record turnout. Log on to see all of the pictures. If you are a BP Alaska alumni, and already had a username, you can access Energy Alumni with your BP Alaska username and password.

Save the date for our December luncheon where we will invite industry representatives to discuss the 2023 legislative agenda.

It was great to have over twenty BP Alaska alumni join the website in order to RSVP and attend along with our regulars from ARCO, and some new faces including John and Kristina Hentges, COP alumni and retirees who are members of the Northern Lights Retiree Club.

Bill and Jean Bredar and John and Kristina Hentges are two examples of couples who retired and have stayed in Anchorage. Bill and Jean enjoy the outdoor opportunities Anchorage affords them, and John and Kristina have both of their adult children working in the industry in Anchorage. Life is good!

It is so nice to see so many familiar faces in one place - Tamara Lienheart

Energy companies represented including Alyeska Pipeline, COP Alaska, Hawk Consulting, Hilcorp Energy, Kakivik, PRA, Santos,and individuals who transitioned from the energy industry to the Alaska Division of Oil and Gas, Alaska School District, Double Shovel Cider Company, GCI, and those energy industry employees who are now retired and were in town to join the fun. 

A special thank you to our sponsors, Advancial, ACS, ConocoPhillips Alaska, Pacific Star Energy and PRA who made this event possible.

Amanda from Advancial, Susie Holly, Becky Stoabs, Kathy Gray and Katie Parmelee were essential in helping pull apart the adhesives from the very challenging name tags and welcoming the crowd to our event. It was our pleasure to include Shelly from the Food Bank of Alaska. Thank you to everyone who made a donation. Shelly was grateful not to have to carry a heavy load of canned goods back to their new location. If you want to make a donation, or volunteer, visit their website.

Great pictures! - Nancy Joseph
