John Warren, Director, Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy
The April General Membership Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel. The Guest Speaker will be John Warren, Director, Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy.
John Warren was appointed Director of the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy in August 2015. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Public Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University. Mr. Warren’s career began in industrial construction, but his mechanical engineering background led him to Henrico County where he served in facilities management and was tasked with reducing the energy footprint of county buildings. He then served as DMME’s Director of Energy from 2000-2007, followed by private sector work in the alternative fuels and green chemicals industry. Mr. Warren’s understanding of Virginia’s unique combination of natural resources, technology base, university and research capacity, and business and industry growth opportunities helps guide DMME in the execution of programs in support of Virginia’s mineral and renewable energy resource development.
