NALA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND DIRECTOR WILL BE NAMED IN 2011

In conformance with NALA’s By-Laws, the Executive Committee of NALA, which is identified as the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary and the Treasurer will be replaced by a vote of the general membership in the June Quarterly Meeting in Warren, Ohio. Ian Lang, NALA’s current Secretary is chairing the Nominating Committee to identify candidates for the offices, which will be submitted to the membership at the March Quarterly Meeting in Pittsburgh.

Currently, Bernie Ulincy is completing a two-year term as NALA President, Christine Dickinson as the Vice-President, Ian Lang as Secretary and Jim Bourbeau as Treasurer, all for the full two-year term. Joe Haas is completing a term as director to AAPL and has indicated he will be stepping down from that role in June. All of the above positions except director shall be decided by a vote of the general membership in June while the new director will be nominated by the Executive Committee. Also, to fill out the Executive Committee for the upcoming new business year commencing July 1, 2011, it will be necessary to elect two additional individuals from the membership to fill out the two additional positions as Executive Committee members which will also be voted on in the June Meeting.

Ian Lang will be moving forward with his role to fill the upcoming positions and may be in contact with you in the near future. In the meantime if you wish to be considered for one of the available upcoming positions as stated above to help serve NALA in a leadership role feel free to contact him at (724) 749-5309 or at: ia_lang@hotmail.com.

NALA will only be as strong as its leadership. With your help it will continue to serve its members and all Land professionals in the northern Appalachian Basin well into the future.
