NADOA Institute In Chicago, 2014 | Russell T. Rudy Energy LLC

Ellis and Russell Rudy have been supporters of the National Association of Division Order Analysts (NADOA) since its inception.  Consequently, it should come as no surprise that Russell T. Rudy Energy is a major sponsor and supporter of the NADOA Annual Institute.  This year, the Institute was held in Chicago and we showed up in force!

We were proud to be able to sponsor the official Photo Booth at the Institute.  Attendees were able to have their pictures taken by a professional photographer with or without friends, in posed or impromptu format, with or without props.

One of the great things about the Institute is meeting old friends and making new ones.  Here our own John Pepper and Russell Rudy enjoy getting together with Wendy Hopkins of Bill Barrett Corp. and Leslie Eastland of Mewbuorne Oil Co., at the Crystal Gardens on the Navy Pier.

Here our Manager of Land Administration, Mary Lemond, enjoys looking over the menu with her friend of many years, Mary Catherine Cousins, at the Purple Pig in downtown Chicago.  The cuisine was as unconventional as the name implies.

One of the many attractions that Chicago has to offer is a night time sight seeing cruise which affords an overview of the highpoints of the city and a welcome opportunity to relax after a full day of classes and networking.

Of course one of the most impressive views from the cruise is the Chicago skyline which is even more dramatic at night.

In summary, the Institute offered relevant topics, stimulating speakers, and more sightseeing opportunities than free time to enjoy them.  Everyone had a wonderful time and a productive week, both professionally and personally.  Can’t wait until next year!
