Letter from the Editor
Join me in welcoming Carol McGowen
to AAPG.
Carol Cain McGowen joins the staff of AAPG as Sections & Regions Manager. She will serve as the primary liaison between AAPG Headquarters and the six U.S. sections and six international regions of AAPG. This position evolved from a need to provide a dedicated staff person who is directly responsive to member requests and information needs. The position is also designed to encourage an exchange of best practices within the global geoscience community.
Carol holds a Bachelor of Geoscience degree from the University of Tulsa and has nearly 10 years of Mid-Continent oil and gas industry experience. In addition, Carol brings considerable experience in non-profit management and international awareness including travel to Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
In September, Carol will travel to the region to assist with preparations for opening the new AAPG European Office in London. Says Carol, “I am very enthusiastic about the potential of the London office to provide educational programming and member services to the European Region. In the coming months, I look forward to meeting and working with the Region’s officers and members, whether via email , in London or at the AAPG International Conference and Exhibition in Perth.”
