1 Romina Portas (Candidate for VP) Aspect (2016-present) ConocoPhillips ( ) Total E&P (2008) MSc, Geology, University of Oklahoma (2009) BSc, Geophysical Engineering, Simon Bolivar University (2006) DGS, AAPG, SEG, SEPM, HGS, GSH I have always enjoyed being involved with geoscience organizations, not only as a member, but as a volunteer. All throughout college, I was an officer of AAPG and SEG student chapters. The educational benefits and the community feeling are invaluable. After I graduated and became a professional, I wanted to continue to collaborate with these organizations that give us so much, I was the regional coordinator for AAPG s Imperial Barrel Award program for the Latin American region for 6 years, building the program from scratch in that region. I have also being closely involved with AAPG s Young Professionals. To become an officer of DSG would give me the opportunity to support Denver s geophysical community and to provide relevant educational and technological opportunities to all the members in the monthly luncheons and short courses.

2 Nick Grenfell (Candidate for VP) Sterling Seismic Services-Denver (2006-Present) BS Geology, University of Montana, 2006 DGS, SEG, AAPG, PBGS (Permian Basin Geophysical Societ), GSP (Geophysical Society of Pittsburgh) My work passion is in geophysics, but my ultimate passion is being part of societies as well as Non-Profits. I have served on boards including KIND (Kinds in Need of Dentistry), MMD (Minds Matter Denver), and KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program). Over the past 8 years, I have learned many new traits which I believe would be a major benefit to the DGS. I have been the director of numerous golf events, night gala's, casino nights, and social happy hours. I strive in creating events that benefit the organizations. I have learned and developed many different marketing strategies as well as gained communication interaction experience. These have helped build large events that are extremely profitable. We have had net gains of 60K in golf events. We have had 100K black-tie events. I want to be a part of the DGS to give my experience, knowledge, and connections I have in Denver to you (DGS family). I have always wanted to play a bigger role in the DGS, but I also wanted to develop relationships within the industry. I feel now is the time where we would both benefit.
