November | Vol. 14, No. 11 Letter from Our President 2014-2015 Officers & Directors I hope all of you are as excited as I am about EWI for 2014-2015. We have a wonderful Board and they are already hard at work planning the coming year. For many of our member firms it’s time to plan next year’s budgets. Although budgets are not set in stone, they do provide guidance for the coming year. Many member renewals are coming up in December, and the chapter counts on each one to accomplish its goals for the year. In addition to seeing your beautiful faces each month at chapter meetings, we would especially like to see as many representatives as possible at LCAM in Tulsa next September 23-26, 2015. President Dana Nichols, Cimarex Energy Co. dnichols@cimarex.com, 918-295-1708 Even if you have never attended before, ask your boss to “Just Say Yes” and invest in your professional development by allowing you to attend part or all of LCAM. Membership Reta Hallam, Manhattan Construction Company rhallam@manhattanconstruction.com, 918-878-3382 There will be several professional speakers, career track seminars and Leadership Academy modules for your benefit. There will also be a few hundred networking opportunities from throughout the country - ladies and gentlemen willing to share with you their EWI and business experience. The best part about LCAM 2014-2015 is there are no airfare or hotel expense burdens. Participation at LCAM 2015 will be a pure investment in YOU!
