Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! And speaking of new, did you
happen to notice the new name on our newest
committee? The New Professionals Committee is
open to members with five or fewer years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Note that
youth is not a requirement; you need only an interest in learning more about the industry and accounting in the industry.
If you are indeed a New Professional in the oil and
gas industry, please take a moment to introduce
yourself to Jennifer Manning, Krystal Goodman,
and / or Houston Lee. Also, please consider joining our newest committee to take advantage of
this opportunity to learn more about the industry
and meet future key contacts in our local society.

President’s Message
Fellow COPAS Members,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Personally, I
ate way too much, but I’m sure that everyone else showed great
restraint! Now that we’ve gotten through the beautiful
weather, it’s time to get back to business and clear out all the
emails and other work that was piled up and waiting for us.
Our February meeting is a luncheon meeting, and we are fortunate to have Steve Irizarry, the National COPAS Executive Director as our speaker. Steve has implemented numerous
changes in COPAS at the National level, and has placed a great
deal of emphasis on marketing the COPAS brand and increasing membership. He is an excellent
speaker, and I know everyone will enjoy meeting him and hearing his presentation.
Our annual Education Day is coming up fast. It will be held on Thursday, February 18 at the
UCO Nigh University Center. There is still room, so if you’re interested but haven’t yet registered, bring your registration form to the COPAS meeting on Tuesday, or send it to Melissa
Meeker at Chesapeake. I encourage everyone to consider attending. Melissa has put together
an excellent program, and attendees can earn 7 hours of CPE credit, including 2 hours of Ethics
credit.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!

Technical Session
At our February 2010 meeting, we have the pleasure of
introducing Steve Irizarry, the Executive Director of
COPAS. Steve began his career working in public
accounting then moved into oil and gas. With 30 years
of experience in the oil and gas industry, Steve spent 15
years with Texaco, 7 years with Kinder Morgan, and
worked as a consultant prior to his tenure with COPAS.
Steve graduated from the University of Florida with a
BSBA and Regis University with an MBA. He is also a
Bighorn Fellow, which is a bipartisan fellowship
sponsored by Colorado State University. Steve currently
lives in Littleton, Colorado and loves to fly fish and tie
flies, ski, and snow shoe and play golf.
