The Newfoundland and Labrador Oil & Gas Industries Association (Noia), has appointed former provincial cabinet minister Charlene Johnson as its CEO.
Johnson was the youngest woman to be elected to the House of Assembly.
Noia says her experience as minister of environment and parliamentary secretary to the minister of natural resources left Johnson with significant knowledge of the oil and gas industry, legislation and policy and the environmental assessment process.
“These skills are critical to speaking on behalf of NOIA's core membership – the supply and service sector,” according to the release.
Johnson will take up her new duties Jan. 9.
