NAPE Notes
As I write this, the great oil patch networking event has just ended. I find NAPE such a dynamic event where one can: network, make deals, promote your business, check out the competition, learn about new plays and trends, all at once and under one roof! It’s such an uplifting experience that I look forward to it each year (though each year my feet swear “never again”).
The HAPL Icebreaker again was the ultimate oil man’s networking and socializing event. In spite of the miserable weather, we were packed elbow-to-elbow connecting with friends and business associates. The Icebreaker committee did a fantastic job again this year, and a big thank you is very much in order to the Icebreaker Sponsors.
This year at our booth, HAPL’s Diane Snyder, aided by Melinda Barton of Landtemp, Inc., took advantage of our online capabilities and signed up over thirty new members on the spot! (For you stragglers that haven’t renewed your membership for 2007, the grace period for renewing will be closing soon (after which you’ll have to re-apply for membership). Please go online and renew…it’s easy and painless.
