Note from PASH President 


It has been a pleasure serving as your PASH President this year. I would not have been able to do my job without the help of the board members, committee chairs, volunteers, and mentors within PASH. I look forward to seeing what is ahead for the PASH organization. For those of you who don’t know, PASH will be celebrating 75 years next year and will be hosting the National COPAS meeting in April 2027.

 

Please continue to share our organization with others and encourage them to join PASH/COPAS. If you have ideas, please reach out and share with a Board member. Hope you are able to attend the May 21st event.

 

Thank you,

Jennifer Holt-McKellar

PASH President 2025-26

Education Committee


On April 21st the Education Committee hosted about 130 attendees for up to 9 hours of CPE with 17 excellent speakers on oil and gas accounting topics. We were able to award scholarships to 7 oil and gas accounting students across 5 local colleges and universities this year!


A huge thank you to the committee members, speakers and attendees for another great event! Looking forward to planning the next session soon!
