National Royalty Owners Organization Expands with Appalachia Chapter



The National Association of Royalty Owners (NARO) announces the expansion of the organization as they recently accepted the charter of the NARO Appalachia chapter. The chapter will assist in the representation of royalty owners in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.



It is always exciting for our organization when we are able to grow. With the increased membership, the stronger and more united our voice becomes. The individuals and families that make up the America'ss royalty owners, for the most part, depend on their royalties to make ends meet. Protecting those interests and keeping them informed of policies and legal precedents for them is our core mission. Stated Jerry Simmons, Executive Director for NARO.



NARO Appalachia organizers met in State College, Pennsylvania on November 1, 2008 to approve the By-Laws, select chapter board members and determined the organizational structure. The rapidly escalating leasing and drilling activity in the Marcellus shale play brought about a need for the formation of this group.



The new NARO Appalachia chapter President is Bob Hart from West Virginia, Vice President Ken Balliet from Pennsylvania, and Secretary/Treasurer John Burgher from New York. Additional Directors include Richard Gerard New York, Sara Dean New York, Jackie Root Pennsylvania, Les Greevy Pennsylvania and Bob Square Kentucky.



Established in 1980, NARO has grown to include chapters representing royalty owners in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and now the Appalachian states. NARO members live in virtually every state.

About The National Association of Royalty Owners: The primary purpose of NARO is to educate, serving as a national information clearinghouse for, not only our membership, but also state, local and federal government bodies and the general public.



NARO also serves, not only as a watchdog in State Capitols and the U.S, Congress but, when deemed necessary, brings to the spotlight of public scrutiny and debate, critical royalty owner issues and concerns that might, otherwise, be ignored or concealed.



The mission of NARO is to encourage and promote exploration and production of minerals in the United States while preserving, protecting, advancing and representing the interests and rights of mineral and royalty owners through education, advocacy and assistance to our members, to NARO chapter organizations, to government bodies and to the public.
