About the AAPG Foundation Trustee Associates
History
The AAPG Foundation was established in 1967 by the AAPG Leadership to carry out scientific, educational objectives through the use of charitable, tax-deductible gifts and contributions from AAPG members and corporate entities.
In 1978, the AAPG Foundation Trustees officially recognized a distinguished group of contributors, known as the AAPG Foundation Trustee Associates. This select group was organized for the purpose of:
- supporting the AAPG Foundation
- providing counsel and leadership to its Trustees
- lending support to its fundraising efforts
- guiding the scientific and educational agenda which it overwrites
History and Origin of the Trustee Associates
Today, there are more than 275 Trustee Associates who play a stellar role in the development of the AAPG Foundation’s financial resources, thereby dramatically accelerating its ability to support scientific educational programs. There are more than 30 funds and programs supported by the Trustee Associates.

2011 Annual Meeting Recap
We are so pleased that that so many AAPG Foundation Trustee Associates and their guests were able to attend the 34th Annual Meeting in Lake Tahoe, CA. Total attendance was 120, with 54 Trustee Associates attending. Many thanks to Jerry Namy for his fine chairmanship, and to all those who assisted in some way. Jay Henthorne has chosen a wonderful resort for 2014 (Barton Creek in Austin, TX). Don O’Nesky was the perfect fishing chairman, and Mike Wisda did a top-notch job filling in as the golf chair.
