<\/a>Today we celebrate the office heroes.<\/strong> \u00a0The backbone of oil and gas companies. \u00a0The ones that work tirelessly and sometimes thanklessly behind the scenes. \u00a0The Administrative Professional.<\/span><\/p>\n Oil & Gas Admins International<\/a> was formed to celebrate those heroes. \u00a0In 2013 after researching and finding that there were no trade organizations or associations in the oil and gas industry that focused specifically on the career and personal development of administrative and support professionals (and after the initial shock), Oil & Gas Admins International was established to provide those opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n The oil and gas industry had long recognized the importance of developing their employees and providing places to network, share best practices and lessons learned and to create industry standards through organizations like\u00a0SPE (established in 1957)\u00a0for Petroleum Engineers, AAPG (established in 1917) and SEG (established in 1930) for Geologists and Geophysicists, and IADC (established in 1962) for Drilling and Completion Engineers, but had missed an opportunity to create those same avenues for support professionals, thus\u00a0O&GA was formed!<\/span><\/p>\n O&GA works to expose oil and gas\u00a0administrative and support professionals to industry information and technologies to develop the necessary skills required for career advancement and to most effectively support the global and diverse oil and\u00a0gas industry. The O&GA Professional Certification<\/a> ensures oil and gas\u00a0administrative professionals produce outstanding results for industry corporations and professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n
