Chairman’s message

It is an honor to serve as Chairman of Fugitive Emissions Summit Americas (FESAM) 2026. Over the years, I have seen firsthand the unique value this Summit provides to our industry. There is no substitute for coming together face to face—renewing professional relationships, exchanging real-world experiences, and advancing ideas that move us closer to the shared goal of eliminating fugitive emissions.

Hosting FESAM at San Jacinto offers an added and meaningful benefit: the opportunity to bridge generations by actively engaging and mentoring the next wave of industry leaders.

This year’s collaboration with the Advisory Board has resulted in a conference program that addresses the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing our industry today.

I look forward to serving as an advocate for FESAM and to engaging in the thoughtful, candid discussions that have long defined this Summit.

Ron Frisard, Mechanical Packing Product Line Director, AW Chesterton Company
