Thanks for your Attendance!!! Western Regional Meeting 2012 The meeting was a great success thanks to your participation and attendance. We will see you all back next year in WRM 2013!

Remarks by WNAR Director Sam Sarem Dear WNAR Colleagues, I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and are rested and fresh to set up your goals for the  New Year. At the Region level, we were blessed to have five outstanding  candidates for the 2012-2015 WNAR Director position, which made the selection decision by the Section Chairs very difficult as the candidates  were all truly capable and any one of them could do a marvelous job as WNAR Director.  In alphabetical order, they were:  Louis Castanier, Ramon Elias, Roland Horne, Young Kirkwood and Tom Walsh.   Thank you Jerry Hale for heading the Nominating Committee and thank you the Section  Chairs for your input.  I would also like to give a heart felt thanks to the nominees for volunteering to serve SPE in that capacity.    Because of the excellence of all candidates, I have presented all five candidate’s names to SPE along with the ranking s by the WNAR Council,  which were very close.    SPE will review the qualifications and make a decision .  The results will be announced in June and if not contested , will be final for October. If contested, a region-wide election will be held.  The National Engineers Week on Feb 20-26 will provide opportunities for getting points toward becoming the President’s Outstanding Section  by publicizing your outstanding Petroleum Engineering Projects and the use of Energy 4 Me Kits.  So let’s all try to tell the public about our industry   by individual speeches, project  tours,  newspaper articles, and interviews by radio, television, clubs, etc. Another very important activity coming up is the 2012 WRM being hosted by SJV Section in Bakersfield in 19-23 March.  Your help is urgently needed not only to help the Section Chair, Larry Miller ;  Andrei Popa, Young Kirkwood and Ron Behren and others running the meeting, but getting a good slate of Awards Nominees before the Feb 1 deadline.  Remember that we need nominees for eight technical areas plus outstanding Young Professional,  Corporate Support  and Regional Outstanding Service.. etc. Happy New Year to all.
