Chairman's Message

As I write my last “Chairman’s Message” I do so with mixed emotions, excitement and sadness. I am excited about the future of API-Delta Chapter and its support and promotion of the oil & gas industry in the local area. However, I am sad that this year has passed by so quickly and my rein as Chairman is over. I will be turning over the reins to the very capable Ms. Peggy Bourgeois. Peggy will be a fantastic Chairman and carry on the mission of the API-Delta Chapter and I look forward to working with her on the board of directors next year.

As an organization we have accomplished a lot, which has made for an exciting year. I mentioned most of them in my last message. However, since that time we held the 14th Annual Joint Society Luncheon on November 8th, which was attended by nearly 250 people. Our key note speaker was Louisiana Department of Natural Resource (DNR) Secretary Scott Angelle. Mr. Angelle showed his passion for our industry and demonstrated why he is a good ambassador for our state and the oil and gas industry. We also participated in “Strike for STEM” under the PIPE umbrella on November 5th at Mid-City Lanes Rock N’ Bowl and were a major sponsor of the event helping raise money for CORE Element. The PIPE team took home first place in the event! Way to go team!!! We were also able to support the Holy Cross Robotics team that participated in the southern regional championships on December 3rd.

None of this could have been accomplished without the great team of individuals we have on the API-Delta Chapter board of directors and the Committee Chairs. I’d like to say thanks to all who have worked so hard to make this a successful and memorable year!!!

Sincerely,
Steve Freeman
