Boot Scootin ’ good Time
We have been very honored to serve as Institute Co-Chairs for our outstanding 2016 President Brenda Pirozzolo. Brenda’s career in oil and gas began in 1974 and she became a NADOA member in 1976. Brenda began serving on the NADOA Institute Committee in 1993 and her service to NADOA has continued since then. Her service to NADOA includes holding many positions on the NADOA Institute Committee, her first position on the NADOA Board was as director in 2005 and she has held many positions since then as an officer or as the DALWORTH director on the board, she has served as the chair of the CDOA Certification Committee and was honored with the Interaction Award in 2012. Brenda, thank you for all your years of service to NADOA. You are an example to us all!
A big thank you to our wonderful corporate sponsors who continue to support us in the good times and the challenging times. Words cannot express our gratitude for your generous donations. What a great group of
speakers and what great topics! There was something for everyone. We appreciate all of our speakers and all the time and effort that goes into each presentation. One of the great things about the NADOA classes is that whether you’re a new NADOA member or you’re a seasoned member you always learn something new at each Institute you attend. A huge thank you to our marvelous News Magazine editor Rona Erickson for that outstanding Institute edition!
As we all know this has been a very challenging year for our Industry, our
companies, our membership and for NADOA. We are so very proud of our 2016 Institute Committee who worked countless hours to make the 2016 Institute a huge success! Due to the many hardships in our Industry this year many of our Institute committee volunteers had no company support but continued to volunteer even at their own expense. We are so privileged to have such an awesome group of NADOA volunteers and we appreciate all that each and every one of you did to contribute to the success of the NADOA 2016 Institute. Thank you for such a successful Institute. Our organization is so blessed to have such wonderful members who give so much back to NADOA. You are the BEST!!!! The beautiful Fairmont Princess Scottsdale Hotel was a perfect host for a boot scootin’ good time! We enjoyed renewing old friendships and making new friends at the awesome ice cream social. The entertaining and inspiring key note speakers kicked off our meals which were then followed by some incredible classroom speakers. Thursday night’s event at Copper Canyon was highlighted with good food, fun games and lots of boot scootin’. I think we may have some new cowboys and cowgirls in the making. What happens at Copper Canyon doesn’t always stay in Copper Canyon….so, look for some of the great pictures in the next News Magazine.
