2006-07 AAPG Officer Election Results Announced


BILLINGSLEY

DOLSON

MARTINSEN



Willard R. “Will" Green, an independent from Midland, Texas, was voted president-elect by the AAPG membership. He will service as AAPG president in 2007-08.

Also elected were:

  • Vice president – John C. Dolson, of TNK-BP, Moscow, Russia.
  • Treasurer – Randi S. Martinsen, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyo.

All three will begin their duties on July 1, serving on an Executive Committee headed by Lee Billingsley as president.

Remaining on the committee are J. Michael Party, who will complete the second of a two-year term as secretary; and Ernest Mancini, who will serve the final year of a three-year term as Editor.


JONES

Larry Jones, of Houston, will also serve on the Executive Committee as chairman of the House of Delegates.

Green, the fourth petition candidate in the last four ballot seasons and in the 89-year history of AAPG, is the second petition candidate voted into office. Green was named winner after the runoff system adopted last year was invoked, where the third candidate is dropped and the preference votes came into play for the two remaining candidates, with Green tallying over 50 percent.
