BIC Alliance was a Platinum Sponsor of the Texas Chemistry Council's Summer Board of Directors Retreat Dinner. Jack Quinn of the American Chemistry Council spoke at the Texas Chemistry Council's board of directors meeting.

Attendees at the dinner included Kim Haas of ExxonMobil, Heather Fitzgerald of CITGO, Dirk Perrin of Chevron Phillips Chemical, Alicia Matus of LyondellBasell, Buddy Tucker of Ohmstede Industrial Services, and Todd Behne of OxyChem. Also present were Clark Treybig of Zachry Group, John Kraft of Air Products, Paul Fritsch of Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, and Virginia Velasquez and Daniel Velasquez of Kuraray America.

Hector Rivero of the Texas Chemistry Council and Texas Secretary of State Robert Howden also attended. BIC Alliance's own team at the dinner included Jeremy Osterberger, Alison Osterberger and Thomas Brinsko.

Why it matters

This is a trade-association social event, not a market development on its own, and nothing here moves prices or production. Its relevance is visibility into which companies keep active ties to the Texas Chemistry Council's board, including ExxonMobil, CITGO, Chevron Phillips Chemical and LyondellBasell.

What's next. Texas Chemistry Council's board continues to include representatives from ExxonMobil, CITGO, Chevron Phillips Chemical, LyondellBasell and other companies that attended this dinner.
