Letter From PresidentHello Members, We have a lot going on and I hope you are able to get out and see your friends and colleagues either at our May 4th Happy Hour at Social Capital (May HH Info), the May 18th technical luncheon (May Luncheon Registration), or at the Annual Golf Tournament May 22nd (Golf Tournament Registration). We are through our First Quarter and through our transition to the new Member Management System and Website. Thank you all for your patience with us while we had difficulties getting the American Express payment option working during Renewals; you should be able to use Amex for any registration now. Thank you also as we learned how to set up forms for registrations and the changes we made to allow for multiple registrations on a single form. In short, we are making progress and I hope you will begin to see it as well! The Board met offsite this month to discuss how the OCGS provides value to its members. We remain steadfast to our Society’s objective to help our members advance their career in geoscience by providing quality, cost-effective educational and networking opportunities. While making the case to my colleagues to join the Society, I realized many folks may be unaware where their member dollars go. So here goes: Did you know?
Where else does all the money go?
Your Board is working diligently to keep our Society competitive, strong, and accessible to everybody and we are so excited about the coming years and additional improvements we can make to impact our future, like working to reducing dues in 2024. In the meantime, let’s get excited about the events on the calendar and the upcoming AAPG Midcontinent Section Meeting coming to the OKC Convention Center in early October – Link to sign up and see festivities here: https://www.aapgmcs2023.org/. All the best, Lesley – President OCGS |
