We believe that through CERTIFICATION there must be some measurable standard to identify those who have attained a high degree of working knowledge of the various element covering the many aspect of the field landman’s work. The expense of the traditional annual meeting has made it almost impossible for the Independent Landman to attend.

Our vision is of an annual meeting that is convenient, affordable, purposeful and fun. COMMUNITY is defined as a body of persons of common and especially professional interests scattered through a larger society. By coming together in community we hope to leverage the strength of our numbers to improve the reputation, effectiveness and financial rewards of our industry.

We hope to leverage our numbers to provide quality and affordable HEALTHCARE for our members and their families.

We believe having FUN doing what we do will make us better landmen and make life much better. We need a good laugh everyday and we plan to do our part in making that happen.

CONTINUING EDUCATION should be just that. A daily, relevant and purposeful building of knowledge that will make the individual landman and our community of landmen more valuable to the industry.

We plan to create a resource of LEGAL information, legal documents, decisions and FAQ’s to be available at any time from anywhere. It is also our plan to develop an Oil and Gas Lease form that is fair and equitable to all parties, free to use and editable.

We believe that true ETHICS requires dealing fairly with all involved in the negotiation of contracts. One of our goals is to develop an Oil and Gas Lease form that is fair to all and allows the landman to be completely transparent and offer the highest level of integrity. Ethics are not learned in a seminar but must be exercised daily to allow us to become the people we are expected to be.
