Dear PASH Members,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 PASH year!
The PASH Board has been busy planning for the upcoming year. We plan to keep the meeting
format like last year by having a mixture of in-person meetings and virtual meetings. The Board
and the Committees are also working hard to line up CPE speakers for the upcoming year. We
welcome any suggestions you would like us to research. If you have a suggestion for either a
speaker, topic or location of our meetings, please reach out to the Committee Chairs or any
PASH Board member.
With COPAS increasing membership dues, the PASH Board has decided to increase our
membership fees by $5, making our dues $355 for 2025-26. Similar to last year, most
membership renewals will be handled via the COPAS website. For special cases, retired and
honorary, our PASH Treasurer will be handling those invoices/payments instead of COPAS.
We are always looking for ways to increase our membership and participation. Think about
inviting your boss, co-worker, or friend to a PASH meeting. The committee meetings are free
and if they would like to stay for dinner, you can add a guest to your dinner reservation for a fee.
We are also collaborating with the COPAS Board to figure out the best way to reach college
students/new graduates who are interested in Oil & Gas Accounting. Many don’t realize there is
an opportunity in our Oil & Gas Accounting world. If you have any ideas on how we can reach
these individuals, please reach out to us so we can explore this new possibility together.
PASH will be hosting the Spring 2027 national meeting here in the Houston area and will be
celebrating PASH’s 75th anniversary during the national meeting. We are looking for volunteers
to Chair various segments of the event. The Chairs will then recruit members to help on those
committees. Please consider getting involved, your contribution is meaningful. It’s a great way
to meet other members you may not regularly interact with during the year. Our Past Presidents
will also be recognized at this event.
The PASH Board of Directors are here to help you out! All you have to do is ask.
See you at the next meeting!
Jennifer Holt-McKellar
PASH President 2025-2026
