Field Landman Seminar

NALA AND AAPL TEAM UP TO SPONSOR UPCOMING SEMINAR AND MEETING

On Thursday June 16, 2011, AAPL will be sponsoring, in conjunction with NALA, a Field Landman Seminar in Warren, Ohio, at The Avalon Inn Resort & Conference Center beginning at 3:30 PM and continuing through 8:00 PM. In line with NALA’s continuing push to bring quality education and social programs at very reasonable cost to the area land professionals, this event once again reinforces that commitment. There is no charge to attend the seminar, happy hour, dinner and business session for AAPL members. Reservations, however are mandatory and the attached meeting notice provides the details. For any non-AAPL members, the charge is $50.00 and the fee will then be applied to that attendees initial annual membership charge to join AAPL. The two hour seminar will carry two continuing education credits for any RL’s, RPL’s or CPL attendees, with one being an ethics credit.

It is imperative that you read the meeting flyer attached and take note that the attendee list will be capped at the first 100 people who reserve through the AAPL website as covered in the notice. Additionally, there will be an optional golf outing at The Avalon Lakes Country Club capped at 40 golfers or ten foursomes and registration information for the optional golf outing prior to the meeting is also mentioned in the notice.

NALA is very grateful to AAPL who has made this program available to the area land professionals. NALA continues to seek out quality education and networking events at highly desirable locations and at low cost. We are hopeful you will take advantage of this great opportunity to golf, receive quality educational information, network and hear news of interest to the area land professional. Finally, NALA will be capping the evening by voting on and introducing the new executive committee that will be representing NALA over the upcoming two-year period. All in all, this promises to be a fulfilling day for all. I hope to see all of you there.



Sincerely,

UPCOMING NALA LUNCHEON APRIL 21, 2011

It’s that time once again to meet and network with your fellow land professionals as NALA hosts its second Landman’s luncheon of 2011 on Thursday April 21st. This time we meet at The Four Points Sheraton in Warrendale/Cranberry north of Pittsburgh. The address is 910 Sheraton Drive, Mars, PA 16046. Their phone number is (724) 776-6900. We start once again at 11:30 with the “meet and greet”, followed by our buffet luncheon at 12:00. Our featured presenter this month is Odon Simoneaux with Wild Well Control speaking on well safety and emergency planning. We should conclude around 1:30. This meeting is being hosted by Seneca Resources.

The cost for the event is $30.00 and can be paid either in advance or at the event. If paying in advance, make your check payable to NALA and mail it to Grace Brace, c/o NALA, P.O. Box 159, Meadville, PA 16335.

Please be sure to RSVP to Grace in advance of this event if you are planning to attend. We will accept reservations up through Monday April 18th. E-mail her at gbrace@jimbourbeau.com or call her at (814) 382-2500. If you make a reservation and do not cancel before Monday the 18th we must have you pay for the luncheon because we are starting to get quite a few reservations that turn into no shows and the association then gets stuck covering the cost for all those who reserve.

At our last luncheon in Southpointe we entertained 72 land professionals. Let’s see if we can surpass that number in Cranberry. Bring a friend along this time. I look forward to seeing you all on the 21st.
