The National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) board of directors has elected Cindy B. Taylor as chair and Kevin McEvoy as vice chairman for the upcoming 2015-2016 term. Taylor and McEvoy assumed their positions at the NOIA annual meeting today in Washington, DC.
McEvoy has been CEO of Oceaneering since 2011. He also serves on the company’s board of directors.
McEvoy said, “I am honored to continue serving NOIA in this new capacity and look forward to supporting Cindy, Randall, and the NOIA membership in pursuit of coherent policy and reasonable regulation of offshore oil and gas exploration and development.”
"The oil and natural gas industry is tough and resilient. Since I first joined NOIA, we have faced many challenges including commodity price volatility, global recessions, the Macondo well blowout, a federal moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, new regulatory standards and now the collapse of oil prices yet again,” said Taylor. “While we face market challenges, I look forward to this opportunity to work with other NOIA members to encourage consistent, transparent and productive federal policies allowing continued development of all energy sources in all areas of the OCS. I welcome Kevin and his perspectives to the NOIA leadership team.”
