As some of you may know, among the most valuable and important resource for those of us interested in pipeline safety is the Pipeline Safety Trust, a non-profit public charity promoting fuel transportation safety through education and advocacy. (The story of their creation is inspiring: read it here.) They’ve been indispensable (and tremendously generous) to us from the day we began to educate ourselves about all this stuff.

So we are grateful to report that they’ve invited us to speak as part of a landowners’ panel at their annual conference. This year’s theme is “Pipeline Safety– Trust But Verify.” We’re very excited for the opportunity to talk with and learn from landowners, advocates, public officials, regulators, and even industry representatives from all over the country. And perhaps best of all, we get to meet face to face a bunch of smart, tireless, accomplished people—- a bunch of them from Michigan!– we’ve only encountered so far through the magic of the internet.

The conference is in New Orleans on November 8-9. We will, of course, be blogging about our experience and most of the conference sessions will be webcast live (ours is on Thursday afternoon), so anyone who’s interested might actually be able to watch us speak. We promise to try our best not to stammer and stumble too much and to do our Line 6B friends and neighbors proud.
