Speaking of networking opportunities, we are still looking for some new officers for the CAPDOA board this year. These volunteer positions offer numerous benefits through serving our organizations. The time commitment is pretty minimal, but the benefits are enormous. Through serving you have structured opportunities to meet with other analysts as well as other professionals throughout the industry. You will have the chance to practice skills you may not do often in your day job. Finally, you have the benefit of serving your community in helping to provide great learning opportunities for yourself and our analysts. But don’t take it from me, check out what some of our current and past board members have said! • “Serving on the CAPDOA Board has given me an opportunity to make valuable connections with other division order analysts in the industry. You also gain insight into the local and national organizations.” ~Valerie Wible, current Director • “Serving on the board has given me the opportunity to re-connect with former colleagues and meet new industry professionals. Professional development is important to me and being involved in an organization that encourages networking and continuous education is invaluable. In my current VP role, I strive to gather new and diverse speakers and find other ways to enhance our members’ experience. I look forward to serving CAPDOA either as an officer or active member for years to come!” ~Whitney Katigan, current Vice President • “I have enjoyed the time I spent on the CAPDOA board! I was able to get to know other DO Analysts on a one on one basis and put names to faces of many that were before mere acquaintances. You build friendships and when I need to reach out to a company I know who I can count on for help.” ~Roxanne Heath, former board member • “Serving on the Board takes me out of my comfort zone forcing me to grow as an individual. While I enjoy a lazy afternoon of reading on my back patio, I also don’t want to become stagnant. If you’re the type of person who enjoys stretching yourself, I encourage you to run for an office. ~ Sherry Werth, current Director If you are interested in serving on the CAPDOA board, please reach out to Sherry Werth at sherry.werth@roanresources. com . We promise to teach you everything you need to know! Here at CAPDOA we have wrapped up the summer and are getting back to business. Our August speaker was Sydnie Davidson. Ms. Davidson is the Manager of the Oil and Gas Public Assistance Department of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. She gave us some very helpful tips on navigating the OCC and the Tax Commission’s websites. This information will be very useful for our analysts! Hope you had a great summer friends!
CAPDOA has had a number of great events this year, but our Seminar so far takes the cake! Our Vice President, Whitney Katigan, put together a phenomenal group of speakers that were diverse, educational, and even entertaining. We kicked off seminar with an enterprise overview of the industry and how Division Orders fits into the whole oil and gas industry. We also had the always entertaining Gayle Riggs come tell us (finally!) why geologists take field trips. The seminar was also populated with a few out of town guests from FourPoint Energy and Longpoint Minerals in Colorado who helped us to understand the current increases in mineral buying and the impact on Division Order Analysts. There was much food for thought in that presentation! The seminar was rounded out with Maria Simpson and April Jorgensen speaking on the benefits of the Women’s Energy Network. The organization is doing great work in our community and provides wonderful networking opportunities for our analysts. Finally, we heard from Dr. Tom Massey on emotional intelligence and how we can continue to understand ourselves better and improve each day. Many thanks to Whitney on such an incredible line up!
