The SPE South Australian Section is immensely proud to be selected to receive the 2015 President’s Award for Section Excellence.

This award recognises sections that are exemplary in all categories of technical knowledge dissemination, operations, member benefits, society and community outreach, innovation and more. Recipient sections are selected by SPE International based on the Section Annual Report submitted in May each year.

The award will be presented at the President’s Luncheon held in conjunction the 2015 ATCE on 30 September in Houston.

The SA Section had a busy 2014, which saw many Officers and Members involved with organising a very successful APOGCE, in addition to maintaining and growing the section’s operations throughout the year.

Congratulations to the teams of Section Officers and Volunteers involved with contributing to this fantastic achievement. In addition, thank you to the section’s members and sponsors for their ongoing support.
