The PJVA is an internationally recognized and respected organization. Our educational programs and model agreements are leadi ... ng edge and are used as the reference by which other organizations measure themselves. That being said, PJVA members are normally not involved in international negotiations. Due to the cultural differences and magnitude of these deals it is unlikely that many of our negotiators will ever be involved at the front-end of these deals. The PJVA will foster relationships with other organizations to garner recognition of our skills and to expand our area of influence to be more international. This will be accomplished by working with organizations like AIPN. We will work toward promoting the economic benefit of our members to the upstream and midstream companies in which we work. We will continually evolve and adapt to changing needs within the industry. We will continue developing and offering our courses through accredited institutions. We may develop a mentorship program between senior members of the PJVA and junior members to the benefit of all parties. We plan to connect with our under-utilized PJVA members or former members and to decide how to keep them engaged. Be that through volunteer for membership or some other way of helping. We have invested a considerable amount on education programs for our members. Historically, these courses were offered to benefit the more junior members of the PJVA community. As those members have matured in their careers a need has arisen to provide courses that are tailored to these senior professionals. We plan to move forward with developing a program for keeping negotiators moving forward in their career paths. We envision a program with numerous options in course offerings, not necessarily offered solely by the PJVA. We will investigate different educational institutions to host this program and decide on one most suited for our profession. read more
