The Mississippi Association of Landmen was organized in
1944 and is America's oldest active landmen's association. It has a membership
of approximately 200 members, associates and honorary members.
The Association
was organized for the purpose of improving the profession of petroleum landmen.
Among its activities are monthly meetings with programs of interest to the
industry, a continuing education series of industry seminars, and annual
publication of a personnel directory. Also, in 1994, the Association raised
funds to move a ninety-two foot derrick, pumping unit and engine from Tinsley
Field in Yazoo County to the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum in
Jackson where the exhibit is now displayed in commemoration of the Association's
50th anniversary and the importance of the oil industry to the State of
Mississippi.
