Energy Keepers hires communications director

Following a year of intense public scrutiny owing to last summer’s abnormally low water levels, the operators of the Séliš Ksanka QÍispé Dam on Flathead Lake have brought on a communications specialist.

Robert McDonald will serve as Energy Keepers, Inc.’s director of communications, a position focused on media relations, public relations and wider communication efforts, company officials said in a press release announcing his hiring. 

Energy Keepers manages the Séliš Ksanka QÍispé Dam, commonly known as the SKQ Dam, which sits at the southern end of Flathead Lake. The company, owned by the Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes, is responsible for maintaining water flows out of the lake.
