PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Members & Guests:
What a Great beginning in 2015! Texas
has wonderful leadership in our State
government and our Representatives in
Washington are fighting for our industry
outlooks. I had the wonderful pleasure
of attending the 2015 Inauguration of
Governor Greg Abbott. I look forward
to the work Governor Abbott and Lt.
Gov. Dan Patrick in Austin! Our newest
board member Amber Neal attended the
inaugural events.
In this issue we highlight the amendments of Senator Ted Cruz to the proposed Keyline XL Pipeline that was
vetoed by President Obama. We are
proud that we have a Senator that is
truly listening to our industry leaders.
We are also highlighting our Oil & Gas
Entrepreneur: Derek Debowski, owner
of TD Torque & Test, LLC. We are
extremely excited for Derek as he continues to pursue his work in the industry
and continues to grow his business. This is exactly what TOGPN is about…it is about supporting young entrepreneurs, young professionals, and connecting them with experienced
and wisdom-enriched mentors in the industry.
We are also excited to announce that we have applied for our 501C3 status and we are pending. This will be so greatly beneficial to you as members. Your advertising and membership
benefits will now be tax-deductible. I would like to thank our friends at ETS, Chevron &
ExxonMobil for helping us launch our first Houston Group! Don’t forget to join or renew
