A Word from Ted Beaumont, AAPG President 2012-13
Thank you for attending the 32nd AAPG Annual Leadership Days in Tulsa, OK. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Our focus this year is on science and technology. Please remember to pass on any ideas you have for papers, books, GTWs, short courses, etc. AAPG especially needs to know who to contact to help us build new science products.
Above are the PowerPoint slides that were presented during the conference and key actions that came from the weekend.
Again, thank you for your participation in the meetings and being a leader in our profession. Together we will continue making AAPG indispensible to the petroleum geologist.
Sincerely,
Ted Beaumont, AAPG President 2012-13
