State Review of Oil and Natural Gas Environmental Regulations, Inc (STRONGER), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting states with the continuous improvement of their oil and natural gas environmental regulatory programs through a consensus-driven, multi-stakeholder framework, has selected Matt Lepore to serve as the organization’s second Executive Director. Lepore’s selection follows the departure of STRONGER’s first Executive Director, Ryan Steadley.
Lepore has previously served as the Director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and has established a law practice, Insight Energy Law, with clients including state regulators, environmental NGOs, and energy companies. “I am honored to serve as STRONGER’s next Executive Director,” Lepore said. “STRONGER provides a foundation for continuous regulatory improvement that recognizes the need for an economically viable domestic oil and gas industry. STRONGER’S mission closely aligns with Insight Energy’s ongoing focus on forging enduring regulatory and policy solutions in the oil and gas sector through multi‑lateral stakeholder engagement. I look forward to building on Executive Director Steadley’s excellent work.
“I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to lead STRONGER for the past eight years,” said Steadley, “It has been a true privilege to work alongside the numerous Board members and volunteers on State Reviews and Guidelines Workgroups who have made the organization’s work possible and impactful. I can’t think of anyone better to continue leading that work than Matt. His deep experience with all of STRONGER’s stakeholders will be a tremendous asset to the organization as it enters a new chapter.”
