As Women's History Month comes to a close, it's important to recognize the contributions of women in the energy industry. One such woman is Lori Fremin, the Board Chair Emeritus of the Energy Education Foundation (EEF). Lori's journey into the energy industry began with a desire for a good job with great benefits. However, she quickly realized that her work had a greater purpose. She enjoyed volunteering to help others understand how the industry impacted their lives, and after having children, she felt a greater responsibility to help future generations. Throughout her career, Lori had several role models and mentors, including her grandmothers, mother, and various senior leaders who provided guidance and opportunities. These mentors helped shape her career path and encouraged her to create a plan with alternate scenarios to achieve her long-term goals. When asked about the most important function of her work in the energy industry, Lori highlighted three critical areas. First, she believes that energy education and awareness is essential to bringing others along and making them smarter energy consumers. Second, creating a sustainable energy future is crucial, and this involves nurturing and reinventing both traditional and renewable energy sources. Third, she believes that everyone needs to lean in and become part of the solution to ensure sufficient energy supplies for future generations. Lori also sees the EEF as playing a significant role in the future of the energy industry. The foundation's focus on energy education and awareness is crucial in promoting a better understanding of how the industry impacts our lives. It also encourages discussions that move beyond the false dichotomy of either/or to embrace the power of both/and, recognizing the need for all sources of energy to help people live and thrive. As we celebrate Women's History Month, we recognize Lori Fremin's contributions to the energy industry and her dedication to creating a sustainable energy future through education and awareness. Her work serves as an inspiration to women in the industry and reminds us of the importance of mentoring and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders.

In celebration of Women's History Month, it's important to recognize the trailblazing women who have made significant contributions in their respective fields. One such woman is Lyndal Cissell, a board member of the Energy Education Foundation (EEF), Managing Director at SLB, and a leader in the energy industry. Lyndal's journey in the energy industry began when she was studying Geomorphology in college. Realizing that it would be a challenge to find remunerative employment in her field, she researched the best careers in STEM and found that petroleum engineering was at the top of the list. She switched schools and programs and never looked back. Throughout her career, Lyndal has had amazing mentors and managers who have challenged her and given her new opportunities to learn and grow. Her mother was also an important role model who taught her that learning is lifelong and grit is the secret ingredient to success. Today, Lyndal sees the most important function of her work in the energy industry as driving energy innovation for a balanced planet. She is committed to moving further and faster in driving the world's ongoing energy transition. As a board member of the Energy Education Foundation, Lyndal understands the importance of providing an open platform to share with society the value of the industry. Petroleum products are part of every fabric of our lives today, from medical products to our homes and our food chain. The EEF serves as an education platform to inspire future engineers to solve the complex challenges facing the industry and to be inspired by the opportunities to help the world face its greatest balancing act. Lyndal Cissell is an inspiration to women and men alike in the energy industry. Her commitment to driving energy innovation and her work with the EEF are critical in shaping the future of the industry. We should all take note of her success and learn from her example of hard work, determination, grit, and lifelong learning.

Today, we announced the Energy Education Foundation, and this morning, I am excited to launch the all-new Energy Education Foundation Society and Corporate Partnerships. With a focus on our mission to educate and cultivate the future of the energy sector, these partnerships will allow members to get up close and personal with our mission. I invite you to join us as we launch this new society. At all levels, you get a behind-the-scenes look at our work. The purpose of the Energy Education Foundation Society is to allow members to invest directly in all parts of our mission and work unlike ever before. Members get a first-hand look at all aspects, from the Ocean Star museum to our direct education programs, Mobile Energy Learning Units, and Knowledge Boxes. As a founding member of the EEF Society, you support our work to cultivate the next generation. You also get access to our professional engagement activities, including our Executive Speaker Series, happy hours, and other events meant to bring together the energy sector in an extra engaging way. Current members of the OEC Society will automatically have their membership converted to an EEF Society membership. As we move into this new chapter, I am excited for you to join us and be a part of what makes this organization great. Education is at the heart of what we do, and it will continue to be with your support. To see our work firsthand visit energyeducation.org and become a member today or give the gift of membership to a friend, family member or colleague.

In 1997, the Offshore Energy Center was founded to expand awareness of the vast hydrocarbon energy resources beneath the world’s surface, supporting global stewardship in the communities that develop these resources and to chronicle the unique heritage and technical accomplishments of the industries that discover, produce and delivered energy to humankind in a safe and environmentally responsible way. Over the past 25 years, we have become known as an education partner to the oilfield industry, providing the unique hands-on offshore experience at the Ocean Star Museum in Galveston, as well as bringing oilfield energy education to K-12 students through our Mobile Learning units in ten states across the USA, and providing continuing STEM education opportunities for teachers via our teacher workshops, which they take back to class with our Oilfield Learning boxes. With this foundation, we have a unique opportunity now to meet the industry where it is and lead the charge in energy education, and the need for unity and knowledge as we work together to achieve an inclusive sustainable future. When I took on this role in the fall of 2021, I saw and embraced this need for unity and knowledge, and the opportunity to find ways to reach more people and provide a broader scope of engagement. From the youngest future engineers and scientists in the classrooms, to the seasoned and experienced professionals who are rounding out the success in their careers, we wanted to find a way to educate and honor the full spectrum of interaction in the industry. It is from this that the Energy Education Foundation was born. Building on the foundation of the Oilfield Energy Center, we have charted a new path for our organization and have worked with our partners to find our place in the industry's future. Our mission is simple yet profound. The Energy Education Foundation will cultivate the next generation of energy professionals through education in the community, advocacy, and professional and technical engagement in the energy sector. We envision a world in which the future is powered by leaders and experts who continue the tradition of innovation. We hope you will join us as we cultivate the future of energy through our education programs and professional engagement opportunities. You can learn more about our new name and the future of the EEF at energyeducation.org . I am so excited about all of the wonderful work we have to come, and I cannot wait to share more.
