Dear Prospective PASO Member,
Accounting in the petroleum industry compels us to stay abreast of the latest accounting interpretations, government requirements, and many other oil and gas accounting issues. PASO can help fulfill that need. Consider joining an organization with over 250 of your peers representing over 50 companies and avail yourself of the latest developments in oil and gas accounting.
PASO is a charter member of the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS). COPAS has 24 societies across the United States and Canada, and has over 3,500 members. PASO provides members in the Tulsa area a forum for discussing and resolving difficult industry related accounting problems. Working in conjunction with other COPAS societies, PASO members participate in the creation of guideline documents, model form accounting procedures, and educational materials used throughout the industry.
Your participation will also allow you to increase your knowledge of industry policies and procedures, develop leadership skills, network with other industry professionals, and earn CPE credit. Through your participation on various committees, your company will have a voice in projects relating to industry guidelines. As a member, you will have access to the national member directory that will enhance your ability to contact the appropriate people and resolve issues more efficiently. PASO also provides an opportunity to participate in the Accredited Petroleum Accountant (APA) program, which is quickly becoming a standard measure of petroleum accounting expertise. The ACCOUNTS magazine, which is published quarterly, will keep you apprised of the most recent developments in the industry.
The $275 annual membership fee includes membership in PASO and COPAS, as well as the cost of the meals at our eight monthly meetings during the 2014-2015 term. We hold our general membership meetings at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Tulsa and the attire is business casual. Seven of our eight meetings are lunch meetings, and the other meeting is held in the evening. General membership meeting times and committee meeting times will be included in our monthly newsletter.
Please return your completed application by August 16th, 2014. Your timely response is greatly appreciated. We will be hosting a new member orientation and luncheon at 11:30 on September 3th at the Hyatt Regency. Please plan to attend to meet the PASO board of directors and learn more about COPAS and PASO. Our first full member meeting will be September 9th, 2014. Should you have any questions regarding membership or other PASO issues, feel free to contact me at (918) 591-1337 or . Additional information is also available at www.paso-tulsa.org and www.copas.org.
Sincerely,
Erin Webb

PASO-Tulsa President 2014-2015
