Pipeline Safety will conduct a Panel Discussion on Wednesday.  Please go to http://www.nm-ga.org/blog.html   and complete the survey of discussion topics.  They want to make sure they are discussing the topics relevant to your company.  If you don't see a topic you want to hear more about, please let me know and I will forward the request.
 
We still have spaces open for golf on Tuesday.  I've had a few people ask to be able to pay for golf separately.  We can make accommodations, please just let me know.
