July 23, 2010 (Randa Mazzawi, Global Coordinator) - Welcome to Aida the new SSA NAM Coordinator and Goodbye to Vanessa

We are delighted to announce that Aida Barclay has been elected as the new SSA NAM Area Coordinator for the next two years. She was the SSA Europe Coordinator between 2005- 2007 and she has a lot of SSA experience. She moved with her family to Houston few weeks ago. Let's wish Aida all the best in her move and give her all the support she needs to succeed in her new position!

We say a fond farewell and an enormous "thank you" to Vanessa Wattley our previous NAM Area Coordinator. Vanessa has done an amazing job in supporting all the chapters in her area during her term 2008-2010 and in reinforcing the relationship with the NAM Schlumberger Management. She made significant contributions as well as an important part of the Global Board. Let us all thank Vanessa for her hard work and wish her all the best for her and her family!

April 15, 2010 (Vidya Javalagi, Global IT Coordinator) - Website Reconstruction Update

In the wake of the Annual General Meeting of the Global Board, the Web Team would like to bring forward some information regarding the reconstruction of the new website.

The project is progressing along, installation of the various software is complete and the team will start creating the page structure as soon as the page templates are uploaded on our server. With the help of Schlumberger we have now resolved technical and contractual issues which had not been anticipated and slowed our progress; we are now back on track.

The technical phase started 5 months ago was crucial if we were to correctly link our portal, with its many new functionalities and features, to the highly secure Schlumberger infrastructure; testing will be performed in the weeks to come and will dictate our next move. An announcement will be made as soon as the proper transfer of all material currently stored on our old website starts.
Meanwhile, urgent updates related to your local SSA board contact information can be sent to Tracey McTague at: tmctague@slb.com

Thank you once again for your patience and understanding.
