About the Speaker

In January of 2025, Jim Welty assumed the role of president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC), the leading trade association for entities engaged in all aspects of unconventional shale development in Pennsylvania, including exploration and production, midstream gathering, processing and transportation, as well as the suppliers, contractors and building trade unions that work with the industry.

As president, Jim oversees the day-to-day operations of the MSC, serves as its chief spokesperson, and engages with stakeholders interested in the safe, efficient development of our shale resources. Jim joined the MSC in May of 2013 as vice president of government affairs, where he was responsible for the legislative and regulatory activities, oversight of the organization’s committee structure, and grassroots engagement.

Before joining the MSC, Jim represented several exploration and production companies in the nascent days of the Marcellus shale boom as a government relations professional with Buchannan Ingersol & Rooney and K&L Gates. Prior to that, he served as corporate secretary and vice president of legislative and corporate affairs at the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. Jim also served as Pennsylvania State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and served as Director, Legislative Affairs for the Pennsylvania Bankers Association.

Jim is a graduate of Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA and Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, PA. He is a lifelong resident of Pennsylvania and lives with his wife, two sons, and Labrador retriever in Boiling Springs.
