Plan to attend an inspirational evening where we will celebrate the multi-faceted achievements of several generations of superstars in the energy industry.
 
The annual SPE-GCS Awards Banquet recognizes the high school seniors and college students who have received an SPE-GCS scholarship for the 2014 academic year. This is a great opportunity to welcome outstanding students into the petroleum industry and to make a positive impression on members of the community. In addition, this event also recognizes our Legion of Honor award recipients as well as our SPE Sectional and Regional award winners. Members of the Legion of Honor have served SPE for fifty years and will be honored for their long-standing commitment to our professional society.  Finally, we are celebrating our SPE-GCS Exemplary Volunteers, those who have devoted time, energy, and expertise to educating our Houston-area students and public about the Oil & Gas industry.
