PERC leadership changing hands in July

Paula Wilson, the director of marketing at AmeriGas Propane, is expected to become the next chairman of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC).

Other nominations included Eric Benson of JS West & Co. for vice chairman, marketers; Michael Barnes of BP Energy Co. for vice chairman, producers; Robert Barry of Bergquist for treasurer; and John Simcox of ThompsonGas and Tom Van Buren of Ferrell North America for secretary.
