Partners in the NORA Oil and Gas Extraction Sub Council

The Sub Council has two co-chairs, one a NIOSH Program Manager and one a stakeholder representative. The NIOSH Program Coordinator facilitates the work of the Council. Members attend meetings and are the core of the group. Corresponding members are kept informed of Sub Council activities, have opportunities to provide input on topics to be discussed, and may join workgroups. Contact the Program Coordinator or the NORA Coordinator with questions or comments or to volunteer.

A partial listing of partners in the NORA Oil and Gas Extraction Sub Council is below. A full listing is being prepared.
