GCS Area Opens on Web

An area on the AAPG Web site has been activated for members to discuss and comment on the AAPG Global Corporate Structure proposal.

The House of Delegates discussed the concept at the Denver convention and it now rests with the House Constitution and Bylaws Committee.

The proposal, under development for the past several years, was prompted by the need to protect Association assets as the Association provides services to members both internationally and domestically.

Also available on the site:

• Letters of explanation.
• Global Corporate Structure summary.
• Historic summary of AAPG global development.
• Corporate Structure White Paper.
• FAQ sheet on new Global Corporate Structure.
• AAPG Strategic Plan Goal Area: Global Presence.
• PDF downloads of a flow chart and a legal review of the proposal.

The timeline calls for a vote by delegates at their next meeting in New Orleans.

Assuming HoD approval of that proposal, the measure would go to the full membership for final ratification. 

Following this scenario implementation would be in 2011.
