Founded in November 1998, the Americas Petroleum
Survey Group
(APSG) is an unincorporated association of
individuals. Members include experts in geomatics, surveying,
positioning, geospatial data management, and mapping sciences from
E&P companies, oilfield service companies, survey contractors,
consultants, and academia. Check out the impressive mix of companies at
our
Public Member
Directory.
APSG is well regarded for its industry
leadership, educational programs, and professional networking.
After
a tremendous year of building up the organization in 2009, the year
2010 will be a time of cementing those gains and returning to our core
remit - the sharing of essential industry practices in acquiring,
treating and managing survey and other spatial information.
As
the incoming Chair, I set the following goals for 2009-2010
- Continue
to focus on educational opportunities, including the ESRI
PUG, while reaching out to other events
- Develop affiliations
with other organizations
- Strengthen our organization by
reaching the 250-member level and chartering at least one new chapter
- Maintain
the previous fundraising and member recruitment efforts,
including outreach to university students
- Begin the process
of refreshing our educational materials with a look consistent with the
new website
This year will present many opportunities for
our
members to be involved with any aspect of the organization they like. If
you want to be involved, just email one of the officers or committee
chairs - or find us at one of our meetings or events. And, as always,
thanks to the members who continue to offer their time and passion to
further the APSG’s objectives.
Jay Hollingsworth
Chair
