TULSA, Okla. (May 3, 2019) - Mark Sutton, GPA Midstream president and CEO and GPSA secretary, has announced his retirement, which draws to a close his 37 years of dedicated service to both associations.

An industry committee comprised of GPA Midstream executive members will conduct a national search for a new president and CEO. Sutton will remain in office during the search process and for a transitional period after a replacement has been named.

“It’s time,” Sutton said. “These associations have been my life throughout a lengthy career in a wonderful industry, and now I look forward to adjusting my priorities that include spending more time with family and enjoying lots of activities together.”

“While Mark will be retiring, we will rely on his in-depth knowledge of the associations and continued leadership throughout the transition of finding and bringing a successor aboard,” said GPA Midstream Chairman Bill Ward, Superior Pipeline. “He has our associations in good shape for a change of this kind at this time. On behalf of all GPA Midstream and GPSA members, I extend our collective ‘thank you’ to Mark for his service.”
