While showing gratitude is always appropriate, the end of the year is a natural time as our thoughts turn to the people and relationships we value most. I want to start off by thanking the chairs, staff and all volunteers who made November’s AAPG International Conference and Exhibition an excellent experience.

As the year draws to a close, the AAPG Academy continues to offer accessible opportunities for professional education and advancement. Aimed primarily at geoscientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, the Academy is a series of webinars and interactive discussions presented by AAPG’s divisions and technical interest groups, explained Susan Nash, AAPG director of innovation and emerging science/technology.

The Houston Geological Society held a 100th Anniversary Gala Celebration on Oct. 7, 2023, at the Petroleum Club of Houston. The mood was inspiring, grateful, forward-looking and humbling. HGS is a volunteer-led organization run by geoscientists. More than 130 celebrants gathered to mark the historic milestone and to remember those unable to attend and those who have gone before.

Serendipity can lead to fascinating results in the life of anyone, but among geologists it can lead to new exploration and/or development opportunities. And here’s a great example.

The Africa Region was well represented and active during the recent 2023 IMAGE in Houston, with more than a dozen Region members – including current officers, past officers and delegates – gathered for its official onsite meeting.

Attendees at the meeting discussed current membership demographics and considered individual concerns facing the Region as well as the Association overall.
