Le Norman: OERB serves new chairman proud
David D. Le Norman
I am honored to be elected to serve as the new chairman of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board. As a longtime Oklahoman, I’m proud of our state’s leadership in developing this nation-leading program.
My roots in this industry go back multiple generations. My father’s and grandfather’s oil and gas careers also each spanned over four decades. Many of my colleagues share similar stories.
