He received the appointment, which he will hold for three years, on July 26, during the 2017 APGA annual meeting in San Francisco, California.

“Mr Nibaur brings to the APGA Board of Directors many years of experience working in the natural gas industry,” APGA President and CEO Bert Kalisch said in a press release. “His leadership ability and knowledge of energy issues, especially with natural gas utilities, will serve our members and industry well.”
