Team NHAPL has been busy this summer preparing the year with exciting speakers, events, and our new interactive website to be launched within the month. The redesigned website located at www.nhapl.org will provide membership and event registration, an area for event sponsors, and legislative updates. Please note the new address. www.nhapl.org NHAPL’s highlight event, besides our great golf tournaments, will be “NHAPL Astros Night.” Justin Foley has been busy obtaining all the insight on making this a premier event. Joe Edgar has taken over the golf tournaments as Randy Helms plans our eventful luncheon program, and Glen Maulding takes the reins as seminar czar, not to mention our website administrator. Social events to attend this year are being planned by Charles Duffy, III and Caleb Fielder. We will be “Welcomed Back” at Lupe Tortillas on September 24 th. Last spring NHAPL joined forces with HAPL and other local AAPL Texas organizations to study the Texas licensing issue. We are confident that as we work together as a team we can build relationships to benefit landmen in oil and gas issues that may affect us all. This year we look forward to welcoming lease analysts to our programs so that we may bridge the gap in our work understanding and relationships. NALTA Affidavit of Attendance forms will be provided at each luncheon. We thank you for your continued support of NHAPL. We look forward to seeing you and your associates this year. Until we are up and running please complete the attached renewal form and contact our new Treasurer’s, Carla Francis, support staff, Dana Kelly or Yolanda Bazan-Rojas to make luncheon reservations.
