The Association Editor works primarily with the executive directors (who thereby are “contributing” editors), to produce relevant public policy updates as well as annual and periodic association, convention and meeting content for each monthly issue. This includes writing and communicating with industry leaders to produce in-depth articles that run the gamut of legislative, regulatory, business, technical, market, legal and financial matters, and obtaining source approvals of final copy according to the 65-year-old American Oil & Gas Reporter editorial policy. Each month’s issue cycle concludes with a final edit of the forthcoming edition, which also includes submissions from other AOGR editors, sources and contributors. Periodic convention travel and subsequent coverage of keynote and other convention speakers make photography skills a plus.
