Dear Member:

I hope this finds you doing well and getting ready for an exciting 2024.

I’m pleased to share that our membership drive in 2023 produced wonderful results and the feedback on our events throughout the year have been very positive. A big thanks to all existing and new members for making 2023 a fantastic year.

In summary of 2023, here are some stats:

About Houston GPA (HGPA)

The Houston GPA Midstream (HGPA) is a non-profit organization consisting of professionals who work within the midstream oil and natural gas industry in or near the Texas Gulf Coast. One of the HGPA’s primary objectives is to help develop qualified personnel for the midstream industry by awarding scholarships to engineering and technical students at area universities. To further the mission of our organization, we need support from companies like yours, which operate assets or provide services and equipment to the midstream industry. We achieve that objective through an annual fund-raising program for scholarship donations.

In an effort to grow HGPA membership and bolster support for HGPA scholarships, we invite your company to join us in helping to develop these future resources through a corporate sponsorship for the annual 2024 HGPA fiscal year. The HGPA has very little administrative overhead because it is governed and operated by elected volunteer professionals from the midstream oil and natural gas industry which allows us to dedicate a large percentage of your sponsorship dollars to the HGPA scholarship fund.

Please visit the HGPA Midstream website located at www.houstongpa.org/membership for more information and to sign-up for corporate membership opportunities. Alternatively, feel free to contact me at RLovell@auduboncompanies.com or 832-723-8854.

Corporate Memberships

For Bronze level and above in 2024, we are developing exciting new opportunities to promote education and networking in our industry. These events will be finalized based on sponsorships, but in general will include:

• Executive Roundtable: The intent of this quarterly luncheon is to encourage informal open communication and continued networking between key stakeholders at owner/operator companies and supplier companies. Topics to be discussed include industry trends, best practices, lessons learned, etc.
• Shop/Field Tours: The goal of this program is to support continued education and firsthand experience for individuals with less than 5 years of industry experience. Organized shop tours and field visits will be scheduled to allow people to see how skids are fabricated, packages put together, and ultimately how all of it comes together in the field.
• Mentor/Protégé program: The intent of this program is to offer continued education, assistance, and networking for individuals with less than 5 years industry experience in an effort to support career development. Mentors will include individuals with 10+ years of experience at owner/operator companies and supplier companies.
• National Convention Dinner: The intent of this is to allow the HGPA BOD to thank stakeholders from sponsor companies for their support in fun & relaxed dinner setting.
• Community Outreach: HGPA will organize & coordinate events (~2/year) for Platinum, Gold, & Silver sponsors to participate in, e.g. Houston Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, Camp Hope, and Kids Meals Inc.

In addition:

• For all Corporate Membership levels, your company logo will be prominently listed as a sponsor on the HGPA website.
• For Silver level and above, your company logo will be displayed on all event banners.
• We will recognize your company’s contribution at our meetings.

*New ideas/events are always being considered to generate more value for your involvement in HGPA.

ADDED VALUE: Platinum, Gold and Silver Corporate Member companies get a 48-hour early-bird registration for all events. This is especially beneficial as our most popular events sell out within hours of launching.

Thank you for supporting the midstream oil and gas industry and the development of its future professionals while also encouraging professional development in your employees. Please consider a contribution to the HGPA a worthwhile investment opportunity in our industry’s future and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Best regards,

Ryan Lovell, Director, Houston GPA
