Annual Meeting ~ July 7-10, 2011
CAWV ANNUAL MEETING EXPANDS MEMBERS HORIZONS
“The development of Marcellus shale could be a game-changer for West Virginia, and if the state is able to land a cracking plant, this would be just the operation to push us over the top.” This is according to Doug Malcolm, the 2003 president of the Independent Oil & Gas Association of West Virginia and current chairman of the association’s Government Affairs Committee. Speaking at the General Business Session at the 2011 CAWV Annual Meeting, held July 7-10 at The Greenbrier, Malcolm introduced members to a new alliance formed by IOGA called “Just Beneath the Surface.”
Bill Maloney, Republican gubernatorial candidate also spoke at the General Business Session. A former CAWV member, Mr. Maloney said he was glad to speak to people who are “Hard at work building West Virginia.” The co-founder of Shaft Drillers International grew his company from a two-person business to a world leader in large diameter shaft drilling for mining and other industries. “I’m tired of West Virginia’s poor business ratings. West Virginia is a great place to live and grow a family. I want it to be a great place to grow a business.”
Over 350 members, guests and children attended this year’s meeting, which began with a reception at Howards Creek Lodge on Thursday. The CAWV Board of Directors met on Friday and discussed a number of industry issues. A Welcome Night Reception, sponsored by select members of the Associate Division, was held Friday evening.
Following Saturday’s General Business Session, the Building, Highway and Utility divisions met and elected officers. Golf, trap and fishing tournaments followed the meetings, and a number of children’s programs were offered.
