2017 Q4

Transportation in Texas Well, what can one say when in Texas; one day it can be in the 80s and 90s and the next day it can be in in the 30s and 40s, and that is just Texas weather. You just never know! Once you have experienced such happenings, the next time you travel here you now know you have to pack like me; bring the entire closet because you have no idea what might be needed!!! You know, just in case – wink wink! Our attendance was great, even with all the changes and the Texas weather! Everyone had such a good time, with great goody bags and vendors, and don’t forget our speakers who were so nice to take the time to impart their knowledge to us; we were honored to have them. Now for next year this travel portion may have to be a bit longer…. in case some of you decide to take some time and road trip it to the GAYLORD OPRYLAND HOTEL in NASHVILLE!!!! Can you believe it, Nashville!!!!! Such beautiful surroundings, music and Oh My Lord maybe I can get to meet Blake Shelton in

person!!! I just know he will instantly fall in love with me, oh my I have to fan myself!!!! This is one Institute to plan a vacation around; and as we usually do, we try to set up some of our discounts for the weekend before and after, so let’s just say we are on the same wavelength here! We are simpatico - take a week or more and go enjoy the sights and have some fun; this is the place to do it! Sadly, we must say goodbye, our time has come to an end for this year’s 44th Annual NADOA Institute. Many great people and companies came together and created something special, supporting our endeavor, supplying gifts, discounts and much more and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And as to 45th Annual Institute, Nashville watch out because the NADOA ladies and gents are coming for one heck of a good time!

So much to appreciate!!

NADOA has again put together an Institute that we can consider a privilege and honor to have. The NADOA Board of Directors, the Committee Chairmen and all the volunteers work very hard to put together an Institute to enrich the Division Order Analyst’s knowledge base and provide opportunity for all. Putting an Institute together is a very large responsibility. Finding the appropriate location, the speaker program topics, the speakers, the menu and coordinating all the events plus so much more takes lots of planning and preparation! This is a good time to remember what all to be thankful for and that so many Oil and Gas Companies, the NADOA Board of Directors, the Committee Chairman and all the volunteers take the time to make Institute so successful. The Oil and Gas Industry will always benefit from all the hard work and time everyone donates and expends. Each and every attendee is fortunate to have such an opportunity available to them.

So, thank you to all for the wonderful NADOA 2017 Institute.
