Gray & Pape is a proud member of LEAP (Leaders in Energy and Preservation). LEAP is a coalition of energy companies and historic preservation groups supporting efficient energy exploration and advancing heritage management. Together we are devising voluntary practices and technological innovations that help energy companies manage risk and protect significant heritage resources such as archaeological sites, historic properties, and sites of cultural importance to indigenous people.
Our President, W. Kevin Pape, is Chair of LEAP’s Adoption, Implementation, & Assessment (AIA) Working Group. The AIA Working Group includes a community of individual management and operational professionals. This group works together year-round to explore the roles that management decision-making, training, action-modeling, adoption protocols, voluntary compliance, assessment, and monitoring play in achieving internal buy-in from energy companies and associations, preservationists, and public representatives, as they take action and turn the promise of voluntary best practices into reality on-the-ground in communities.
