Steve Dodge Promoted to Executive Director of API’s Massachusetts Petroleum Council

The American Petroleum Institute announced today that Steve Dodge has been promoted to executive director of the Massachusetts Petroleum Council (MPC); Dodge had previously served as associate director of MPC.

“Steve has been a talented and respected advocate for the oil and natural gas industry in his 17 years of service with API,” said API Senior Director of State Government Relations Rolf Hanson. “He understands that energy is essential for all facets of our daily lives, from powering national, state and local economies to fueling the family vehicle and heating our homes.”

Steve Dodge joined the Massachusetts Petroleum Council, a division of API, in November 1997 as an associate director, responsible for lobbying activities throughout New England.

The United States can remain a global energy leader for generations to come, but only if we get our state, regional and federal energy policy right today.”
