<- back Get Involved with the Oil & Gas Practice Specialty
Annual Professional Development Conference (PDC) Activities
Professional development is an important way for members to get involved with the Oil & Gas Practice Specialty. No prior experience is required. The following opportunities are available:
PDC Assistance
If you plan to attend the PDC in June, then be sure to support the Practice Specialty by:
- Helping us staff the Practice Specialties booth.
- Attending Practice Specialty-sponsored technical sessions.
Submit a Recommendation for a PDC Presentation Topic
The process for preparing top-notch PDC presentations begins nearly two years in advance. Our Practice Specialty provides quality presentations at each PDC. We welcome and support presentation ideas from our members. We also will provide support for those who wish to present at a PDC. To submit a presentation topic, contact Michael Farris.
Moderate a Session Presentation Sponsored by the Oil & Gas Practice Specialty
Support presentations at the PDC by offering to moderate a session. Those who volunteer will receive information on their role. The moderator will ensure that the speaker is ready to present, provide a brief introduction (provided by ASSE), gather presentation evaluations and present a token of appreciation to the presenter on behalf of ASSE. Contact Michael Farrisfor more information.
Submit an Article to Well-Informed
All members are encouraged to write for Well-Informed. The editor gives careful consideration to all submissions. Do not worry if you have never written an article before—you have to start somewhere, and we are here to help you get published. Now is the opportunity to share your knowledge with other professionals. For more information, contact Krista Sonneson.
Submit an Article to Professional Safety
The Practice Specialty can also help you in submitting an article to Professional Safety. We can provide access to other published authors who can assist you and provide insightful review. For more information, contact Michael Farris.
Join the Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee is a group of dedicated professionals who give direction to our Practice Specialty. They meet regularly by conference call to discuss goal setting, assign responsibilities and approve actions to be taken. Current projects include the ongoing development of a Body of Knowledge committee, website expansion, newsletter content development and outreach to other professional associations and organizations. For more information, contact Michael Farris.
Join an Administrative Committee
It takes many volunteers to make the Oil & Gas Practice Specialty operate. There are several committees that provide valuable services each year. Why not donate some of your time to assist current volunteers in the administration of the Oil & Gas Practice Specialty? Committees in need of volunteers include:
Awards and Honors—Assist in the selection of those dedicated volunteers who deserve recognition for their outstanding efforts.
Membership—Help to grow the Practice Specialty by promoting membership and assisting in marketing efforts.
Nominations—Support the future of the Practice Specialty by assisting with nominations for leadership positions.
Website—Participate in the continuing growth and enhancement of our Practice Specialty website.
To join an administrative committee, contact Michael Farris.
