Summer Greetings!
I hope all of you are having the type of summer you envisioned -- taking time to get outdoors, cooking on the bbq and spending time with family and friends. Jen Gordon and I are taking in some good summer fun, no doubt!
However, fun aside, I want to share with you the PODS work we are engaged in. Jen is putting the final touches on the documentation for PODS 1.1, moving it forward for approval by the board for membership review and comment.This has been a labor of commitment, leadership, and excellence by the PODS Next Gen Committee, Co-Chaired by Peter Veenstra (Pivvot) and Chad Corcoran (Andeavor).
This newsletter also reports an increase in PODS Association dues. This decision was carefully reviewed and deliberated by the PODS Association Membership Committee, Chaired by Paul Herrmann (Chevron). Upon their recommendation, it was approved by the Board during their May meeting. I hope all of PODS members will support this decision. PODS Association is committed to deliver benefits to our members including expanded webinars, increased volunteer opportunities and member-access through the PODS portal. We are sure you will agree.
Sincerely,
Kathy Mayo, Executive Director
P.S. If you are a PODS Member, and you have any questions about accessing the PODS Member Portal, please contact Jen Gordon at
