APPRECIATING O&GA VENDORS OLD HOLLYWOOD STYLE?  WHAT’S THAT?!

APPRECIATING O&GA VENDORS OLD HOLLYWOOD STYLE? WHAT’S THAT?!

This Friday, Oil & Gas Admins International will celebrate Outstanding Vendors that have shown tremendous support to the administrative and support professionals in the oil and gas industry, and it’s an old Hollywood affair!  

So what is Old Hollywood?  Think Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy Dandridge, Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Sidney Poitier, Humphrey Bogart and the like.  

While attendees certainly ARE NOT REQUIRED to dress the part, it’s all in fun and we hope you will participate!

See photo examples below.

Attendees received a treat as Craig Krause of Direct Development Training shared fantastic personal development and memory tips in a presentation that was both informative and entertaining.  View video here >> (video 1 | video 2).  Elaine Ousley of Elaine’s Florist recognized the administrative professionals by providing beautiful long-stemmed roses.
