A new member has been named to the Board of Directors of Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. in Tulsa and she’s a former national Republican party leader, one who was considered a big supporter of Donald Trump in his Presidential campaign.
The company said Ronna R. McDaniel’s appointment was effective Dec. 11. She chaired the Republican National Committee from 2017 until the first quarter of 2024, where she
also chaired its executive committee. McDaniel also served on the Board of Directors of the Romney Institute of Public Service and Ethics from 2016 to 2021. She served as Chair of the Michigan Republican Party from 2015 to 2017 and as chair of the Michigan Delegation at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
McDaniel will also serve as a member of the Audit, Compensation and Conflicts Committees of the Board of Directors at Alliance Resources. The Board of Directors will be comprised of seven directors through the balance of 2024 and will be comprised of six directors starting January 1, 2025 on account of the previously announced retirement on December 31, 2024 of long-time director John Robinson.
“I am excited to announce the addition of Ronna to the ARLP team,” said Joseph W. Craft III, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Ronna brings to the MGP Board an expertise in leadership, governance and public relations along with the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments. We look forward to collaborating with Ronna as we continue positioning ARLP as a reliable energy provider now and into the future.”
