Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Hilton Garden Inn in Midland. Meetings include a time of networking, a buffet, and a speaker. Topics range from safety and technical issues important to the industry, governmental affairs affecting the industry, and academia's efforts to prepare and influence the next generation toward a career in the oil and gas industry.
