Council Chairman Tom Van Buren, partnering with the National Propane Gas Association and the Propane Education & Research Council, created a new committee to increase state association involvement with PERC.

The Industry Outreach Committee, made up of state association executives John Jessup, Derek Dalling, and Steve Ahrens, Council members Bob Barry and Randy Doyle, Advisory Committee member Scott Brockelmeyer, past Council chairwoman Paula Wilson, and PERC staff member Pat Hyland, will coordinate with states on rebate programs, consumer education, training, and market and industry outreach communication.

"I believe this committee will make a stronger connection between PERC programs and the dealers in the states," said John Jessup, executive director of the North Carolina Propane Gas Association. "Taking the message down to the state level should ensure that more dealers are informed and involved with how their PERC funds are being spent and how to best leverage them for their business."

The committee will meet for the first time in June. BPN will provide updates on PERC committee activities.
