Production Accounting Ambassador (at place of employment)

 

Volunteers make themselves available to staff at their place of business to answer questions about petroleum production accounting careers and the value of the CAPPA certificate.  Ambassadors are a valuable link between members, their employer and the Association.  Volunteers will have completed, or be in the process of completion, the CAPPA certificate. Volunteer hours are ad hoc.

 

Production Accounting Ambassador (at public functions)

 

Volunteers will participate in ad hoc events such as Career Expos, Trade Shows, College Campus recruiting events and others.  Volunteers should be comfortable speaking to prospective members about a career in petroleum production accounting and the value of the CAPPA certificate.  These activities are often during the business day and volunteers would need the flexibility to participate in a shift (portion of the day).  Volunteers will have completed, or be in the process of completion, the CAPPA certificate.  Volunteer time is as needed and estimated at 4 hours per quarter.

 

Social Events

 

Volunteers meet once every two months throughout the year.  Each volunteer will participate in the planning, budget and delivery of social events and may work with other industry organizations on the events.  Volunteer time will be 1-2 hours monthly plus participation at events.
