Meet Laura Johnson, 2017 Candidate for AAPG Secretary

I accepted the invitation to be a candidate for an AAPG office because AAPG means a lot to me. I want to give back to the organization with my most valuable asset: time. I also want to help support the advancement of our wonderful association. AAPG has been a vital part of my career and professional development in the petroleum industry. I have learned skills and connected with many wonderful people through AAPG. I have developed great friendships, mentor and mentee relationships all through AAPG. My membership in AAPG has not only allowed me to grow as a geologist, but as person. It is because of these great experiences that I am willing and honored to give back to the association by running for Secretary. This position is a task that I have the skills and ability to serve the association. My previous volunteer experience has prepared me to take on this leadership position.
