Comments from our President
July 1, 2009
As the new Board makes plans for the 2009-2010 year, one of the primary objectives we have is enhanced cooperation with our sister societies in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. As all of you know, each year two of our luncheons are jointly held with the Dallas Geological Society and we also plan some of the social activities together. We hope to make this collaborative work such that our society serves the entire geoscience community in the area. One of the ways we do it is by announcing and linking the events planned by other societies in the area through our web site.
Last year we also sponsored a variety of petroleum geoscience short courses which were held at the Ellison Miles Geotechnology Institute. The short courses cover geology, geophysics, land and operational aspects of our business. We expect to repeat these courses in the 2009-2010 year.
As part of our effort to involve more of the membership in the activities of the society, I have requested the following to serve on various committees. These committees and their duties are described in our by-laws.
Honors and Awards:
- Ernie Siraki
- Barry Weinman
Continuing Education:

The Board appreciates all the help that our members provide. If you have ideas to improve our service to the membership, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the board members. Have a great summer!
