The National Association of Royalty Owners – East Chapter is dedicated to the education of mineral and royalty owners and is planning an incredible program for our annual convention.
The energy business has a long history of fueling the economy of our great nation. Royalty owners are responsible for the development of their minerals while working with industry partners and operators. NARO serves as their support system when guidance and education are needed.
Your business presence, combined with the knowledge and engagement of royalty owners, is essential to building a stronger energy future in the United States.
We hope you’ll join NARO East in supporting these efforts.
John Whipkey President, NARO East
Foundations of Mineral Ownership is a beginner-friendly course designed for those who are new to minerals or looking to build a strong foundation in mineral management. Led by community leaders from your local chapter, this 3-hour educational session is followed by a 30-minute Q&A and takes place just before the convention begins.
NARO members who are not currently enrolled in the Mineral Management Program (MMP) may attend this class after paying the class fee. This fee covers only this class and is separate from the NARO East Convention registration or Mineral Management Program fees.
