AAPL - American Association of Professional Landmen
About
The American Association of Professional Landmen is a voluntary international professional organization that unites approximately 8,500 landmen and land-related persons through professional development and service.
AAPL is made up of men and women with varied educational backgrounds. The majority have business degrees; many have expanded their scope with law degrees. In the past 25 years, numerous landmen have come from the petroleum and minerals land management degree programs offered by several universities. AAPL members work for major oil companies, large and small independent companies and as self-employed independent landmen.
Under the direction of its volunteer leadership and a professional staff, AAPL provides its members professional development opportunities through seminars, workshops, home study programs, conferences, annual meetings, the award-winning bimonthly Landman magazine, bimonthly Landman 2 mini-magazine, the annual Directory and Guidebook (both in printed and electronic formats), workbooks, institute proceedings, industry forms and contracts, the Certified Professional Landman and Certified Professional Landman/ESA programs, the AAPL Web site (www.landman.org) and the industry-renowned NAPE® Expo.[1]
