Coal Prep Conference - Keynote speaker announced!
Luke Popovich, Vice President-Communications, National Mining Association to address “The Changing Political Landscape in Washington and the Potential for the U.S. Coal Industry”
Tuesday, April 28, 9:00 am – 10:30 am
 
The U.S. recently witnessed a literal sea change in political control in Washington with the election of President Obama and Democrats taking control of Congress. For the first time in more than a decade, one party controls its destiny and the agenda for mining, energy policy, and the environment, do not necessarily mesh with the needs of modern business world, especially in light of the global credit crisis. Popovich will explain to attendees the promising future of clean coal projects and potential pitfalls of poorly planned global climate initiatives.

Luke Popovich is Vice President-Communications for the National Mining Association, the U.S. mining industry’s national trade group in Washington, D.C. He joined NMA in November 2003 following 27 years of public affairs work in Washington specializing in providing communications support for manufacturing industries. He was named by The Public Relations Chronicle as one of the nation’s outstanding public relations practitioners.  A Chicago native, Popovich graduated from George Washington University in 1971 with a B.A. in Philosophy and completed two years on a doctoral degree in Political Philosophy at Georgetown University. He now lives in Washington, D.C.
