2008 31st ANNUAL AABE NATIONAL CONFERENCE PRESS RELEASE

"Advancing the Understanding of Energy…from Local to Global" is the theme for the 2008 American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) conference. AABE was formed in July 1977 to represent Blacks and other minorities who were under-represented in shaping energy policy for America during the oil embargo of the time.

AABE’s founders understood the strong correlation among energy resource development, economic growth, and expanding opportunities for disadvantaged minorities to participate more fully in the U.S. economy. Today AABE remains a leading voice in supporting the interests of minorities in the formulation of national and international energy policy.
