EVENT SUMMARY

The natural gas industry is facing increased attention from a variety of interest groups that have concerns with natural gas and the hydrocarbon energy industry. SGA has designed a robust program to prepare natural gas industry employees to respond to questions about the industry and the concerns expressed. Now is the time more than ever to pull together natural gas industry professionals to ensure we are telling a compelling story to reinforce natural gas as part of the low carbon future.

Successful completion of all three components of this webinar series will make you eligible for a Natural Gas Champion digital badge and certificate and 4 Professional Development Hours (PDH).

Attendees will learn:

  • About the benefits natural gas provides to customers, the general public, and the country,
  • How to identify the concerns individuals and interest groups have with fossil fuels in general and natural gas in particular, as well as how the industry is responding to those concerns
  • Why clean, efficient natural gas is critical for a low carbon future
  • Effective, proven methods to communicate in a positive way to the more than 50% of the country that are persuadable with facts, figures and stories.
