Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association elects new president

Donovan

The Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association (PAPGA) elected Beth Donovan, director of propane operations at Shipley Energy, as its new president.

Donovan will serve for two years. She has served PAPGA in numerous capacities, the association says, since 2004, most recently as chair of the Political Action Committee and president of the Pennsylvania Propane Foundation.

Donovan succeeds Harold Sweet, field service manager for Superior Plus Propane, who served as president since 2018 and will continue to serve on the executive committee as immediate past president.

“I am deeply honored and excited to take on the role of president,” Donovan says. “Harold served as president with the utmost integrity, and I intend to pick up where he left off alongside a group of professionals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the propane industry.”
