🎉 40 Years of AADE. A Legacy We're Proud to Be Part Of.
Since becoming one of the earliest AADE chapters in 1987, the AADE Houston Chapter has been committed to advancing the organization's mission through technical education, professional development, and meaningful industry connections.
As AADE National celebrates its 40th anniversary, we're proud to honor the volunteers and leaders whose vision helped build this organization into what it is today.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. We are excited to celebrate this milestone with you.
40 Years of Excellence. 40 Years of Innovation. 40 Years of Community.
This year, the American Association of Drilling Engineers proudly celebrates 40 years of advancing the drilling industry through education, collaboration, and professional excellence.
What began as a vision to create a dedicated technical organization for drilling professionals has grown into a thriving community of members committed to sharing knowledge, developing future leaders, and strengthening our industry.
For four decades, AADE has brought professionals together through technical meetings, conferences, networking events, and scholarship programs that have helped shape careers and inspire the next generation of energy leaders.
As we celebrate this milestone throughout the year, we'll be sharing the stories, people, chapters, and moments that have made AADE what it is today.
To every member, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who has been part of this incredible journey, thank you. Your dedication has built a legacy that will continue to impact our industry for years to come.
Here's to the first 40 years, and the exciting future ahead. Happy 40th Anniversary, AADE!
