2018 MEMBERSHIP RECOGNITION AWARDS
Each year during Institute NADOA recognizes a few outstanding members for their contributions to the Association throughout the year. This year NADOA had five very deserving recipients.
Interaction Award
Tricia Davis Our winner has been an advocate for NADOA and the oil and gas industry in general. Her hard work in the capital city of Austin, Texas, for more than 10 years has resulted in many cost savings to the industry and our companies. She has testified at numerous federal and state hearings. She worked closely with NADOA on several Texas bills that would have been expensive and cumbersome for companies with Texas production. She educated us on the legislative process and how NADOA can have a voice in stopping passage of bills that would be detrimental to the industry. Senate Bill 402 & House Bill 3068, known as the division order bills, were two such bills. After meeting several times with the authors of the bills and testimony by many who would be affected, the bills were dropped. This is just one example of her bringing pending legislation to our attention. She continues to keep us apprised of what the lawmakers are up to. We are proud to present the Interaction Award to Tricia Davis of the American Royalty Council. Jeff Kliewer CDOA The winner of this award has been active with NADOA Education as well as education at the local chapter level. He promoted the idea of a regional seminar in the San Antonio/ Austin area. The idea was to offer education to land professionals in a region where there was not a local Division Order association and where there may not be an opportunity to attend other seminars. He spent countless hours reaching out to companies and was successful in planning and executing a regional seminar held this summer. Because of the seminar and the interest NADOA showed to the region, Division Order professionals in the region hope to start a local association. The 2018 NADOA Education Award goes to our current Education chair, Jeff Kliewer, CDOA Andy Graham The winner of this award is well known to many of us. He has been active in NADOA for many years and has often been a speaker at past Institutes as well as at many of the local associations. He is heavily involved with the Petroleum Land Management degree pro- gram at Western State University in Gunnison, Colorado. He is also an Adjunct professor at WVU and if his classes are as interesting as the classes he teaches at Institute, we are sure they are very popular. In winning this award, he exemplifies the high standard set by Russ Schetroma. We are proud to present the 2018 Russell Schetroma Memorial Speaker’s award to Andy Graham of Steptoe & Johnson.
