IADC-SAPC Chairman’s Annual Address
I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the IADC-SAPC, as we reflect on yet another successful year for our Chapter. I am deeply grateful to each of you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and dedication, which have collectively propelled our Chapter’s mission forward and delivered meaningful value to our membership.
Throughout the past year, we’ve achieved substantial progress across a range of initiatives focused on fostering growth, safety, and collaboration within our industry. At the forefront of our Chapter's efforts is our dedication to Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) excellence, and our HSE Awards remain a cornerstone of this commitment. These awards recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements in safety practices and environmental stewardship, setting a benchmark for all members to aspire to and helping us ensure that safety remains our top priority.
Our Quarterly Chapter Meetings continue to be vital forums for engagement, knowledge exchange, and industry insight. These gatherings allow us to tackle both challenges and opportunities head-on, keeping us prepared and agile in a rapidly changing industry. Importantly, these meetings provide essential space to address significant issues like sustainability and net-zero initiatives, where we work collectively to align with global standards and promote environmentally responsible practices.
Community outreach remains integral to our mission, and we’re proud to support various charitable events throughout the year. Giving back is one of our core values and these efforts strengthen not only our Chapter but also the ties between our members and the communities we serve.
We owe a great deal of gratitude to Christianne Reyes and our volunteer committee members, whose tireless work and dedication make these initiatives possible. Their commitment ensures that our Chapter remains financially robust, providing a stable foundation for our programs and enabling us to pursue ambitious goals.
And, of course, no year would be complete without highlighting our signature event — the Annual Golf Tournament and Gala Dinner. This event brings our members together in a spirit of camaraderie, allowing us to celebrate our shared successes and foster the professional and personal connections that make our Chapter strong.
As we look to the future, I’m incredibly proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved together and confident that we’re on track for even greater success in the coming year. I look forward to your continued partnership as we build on this solid foundation and I’m genuinely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you for your dedication and here’s to another remarkable year for the IADC-SAPC.
Yours Sincerely,
WAYNE BAUER
IADC-SAPC Chairman
