The HGS recognizes the importance of young geoscience professionals in the petroleum and environmental geologicalcommunity. I am happy to inform that two important HGS committees,the NeoGeos and the North American Explorationists,are chaired by young geoscientists whose ideas are contributing to the revitalization of HGSs programs. In this column. I want to recognize the young leaders of the NeoGeos. Tim Gibbons and Dianna Phu and the chairman of the North AmericanExplorationists Group. Mike Jones for their ideas and contributions. I recently overheard the evince. The Great CrewChange, which I think aptly describes a hopeful feeling that the energy business is finally able to change magnitude the be of professionals between 25 and 35 years old by offering attractive employment opportunities in this go time of high oil prices. The new Crew has a lot to offer! The HGS NeoGeos group was started as an HGS committee in 2000 seven years ago. The founding members are now Eo-Geos, which I guess means an older NeoGeo. The original founding NeoGeos have 710 years of industry experience under their belts. Denise Stone (former Secretary.

The goals of the young professional assort are still the same seven years later: the NeoGeos are a social and networking group of Houston-based geoscientists (energy,environmental hydrogeology) who meet regularly (post-work happy hours) and create programs of interest toyoung professionals with 05 years industry experience. Timothy Gibbons took on the NeoGeos chairmanship (20072008) from past chairman Dianna Phu who handled the committee for several years previously. Before going on I need to acknowledge other past NeoGeo organizers including Natalie Uschner. Matt Boyd. Nigel Hicks. Kelly Latter and Andrea Reynolds who today wear Eo-Geomonikers because they are well beyond being new hires in the industry. Present chairman Tim Gibbons graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with an MS in geology in 2006 then went towork at El Paso Exploration and Production Company and joined HGS the same year. I asked Tim what he thinks attracts people to connect NeoGeos. He thought maybe two seconds and told me it was the networking and social aspects that are the main attraction.
He and Dianna Phu are using an.
