HADOA President, 2013
I would like to thank you

Association of Division
Order Analyst member for
2013. I would also like to
give a warm welcome to
our new HADOA member-
ship! Your HADOA mem-
bership is appreciated
and it is an honor for me
to have you.
As HADOA Presi-
dent for 2013, I am
excited to have a
great hardworking
crew! Our HADOA’s
executive board
and directors vol-
unteer their time to
make our associa-
tion successful. I
want to thank all of
you for taking extra
time in your day to
plan, execute and deliver
what is necessary to hold
our association together.
I could not ask for a bet-
ter team!
HADOA has a great line-
up for the rest of the year
and I hope you all enjoy
the different variety of
topics that we have cho-
sen. So far, I have been
very impressed by the
speakers that have gra-
ciously accepted our invi-

knowledge in our indus-
try. Our first meeting in
January was presented by
Zachary Gaver with Kil-

covered the Duhig Law.
February we learned how
to find a missing royalty

HADOA’s January luncheon fea-
tured Zachary W. Gaver from
Kilburn Law Firm, PLLC with a
presentation on the Duhig
Rule.
“The Duhig Rule is applied to
conveyances of mineral owner-
ship in
which the
owner of a
fractional
interest re-
serves a
share of
the mineral
estate without also stating that
there are outstanding inter-
ests,” Kilburn Law Firm, PLLC
2013.
Mr. Gaver’s presentation pro-
vided numerous examples for
the application of the Duhig
Rule for DOA’s working every-
day owner maintenance.
Alan Morgan, VP of Land, Rem-
ora Oil
Company
enter-
tained our
February
luncheon
attendees
on how to
locate missing royalty owners.
This the use of the internet and
programs, many of them paid,
like Accurint, DOA’s are easily
able to locate missing royalty
owners and help fill in holes or
gaps that sometimes appear in
chain of title for minerals.
The HADOA March Seminar, an
intimate affair, proved to be
successful on many levels of
information on the Marcellus
areas with great information
regarding Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia topics such
as Probate, common Title Is-
sues, and
Apportion-
ment. At-
tendees

NADOA continues to provide membership with the ability to re-
view for the CDOA exam together in a study group without leaving
your desk. We have had some very successful
webinars in 2012 and continue to push forward in
2013 featuring the authors who wrote chapters for
the new CDOA manual.
3/26/13—
Chapter 14—Oklahoma by Faith Orlowski
Please send a list of CDOA’s in attendance to
Luanne Johnson at Anadarko if your company utilizes the confer-
ence room method for viewing.
A. Please update your NADOA profiles in order to receive the
NADOA Magazine, NADOA Directory and all email blasts. This
is very important for proper communication.
B. Save the date for NADOA’s 40th Annual Insti-
tute. Check NADOA’s website for further details.
So, gather together and study and get ready to get
your certification while earning continuing education
credits. We will be putting these recording on the
website so that you can listen to them at your lei-
sure. Get ready to get CERTIFIED!
This is a reminder to CDOA’s—
Please add a recertification point to the
website after attending all HADOA meet-
ings that have Division Order related
speakers. An overall industry speaker
would earn you a non-core point.
**Please remember you have 60 days
from the class date to put in your points!
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Each CDOA will be responsible for deter-
mining and reporting the number of recer-
tification credits appropriate for a semi-
nar/event attended by the CDOA, subject
to audit by the Certification Committee.
Each CDOA must complete a NADOA affi-
davit of attendance and attach a program
schedule, including the date, seminar con-
tent and speakers for each program for
which the CDOA wishes to receive credit.
The affidavit will be completed by the
CDOA and forwarded to the Committee
within sixty (60) days of attendance. The
guiding principle in determining accredita-
tion is that the event clearly assists in the
professional development of a Division
Order Analyst.
Recertification credits may be earned in
areas related, but not limited to, Division
Orders, business, accounting, geology,
ethics, law and computing. To ensure that
the Certified Division Order Analyst main-
tains a high level of knowledge in the du-
ties associated with Division Order admin-
istration, each CDOA must earn twenty-five
(25) recertification credits during the five
(5) year recertification period through par-
ticipation in courses relating to technical
areas of land, title, and contract analysis
as they pertain to Division Order applica-
tions.
1. Eight (8) credits will be awarded for
each full day attendance at the
NADOA Annual Institute. A full day
shall consist of at least six (6) hours of
scheduled time. In the event the Insti-
tute does not cover a full day, credits
will be awarded consistent with Sec-
tion IV.B.2
2. Industry related and other relevant
college courses will be awarded three
(3) recertification credits per semester
credit hour. Written proof of comple-
tion, with a grade of “B” or better, and
accompanying NADOA affidavit of at-
tendance, must be submitted to the
Committee within sixty (60) days of
course completion.
3. Attendance at other education pro-
grams shall receive one (1) credit for
each one (1) actual classroom attend-
ance. The Certification Committee
and the Board of Directors have also
approved the recognition of one (1)
recertification credit for each two (2)
consecutive monthly luncheon pro-
grams, or other regularly scheduled
educational opportunities, with speak-
ers whose program lasts thirty (30)
minutes or longer.

3. Continued: To claim the credit, a
CDOA must present a completed Affida-
vit of Attendance with program outlines
of the speakers’ presentations to the
Certification Committee within sixty (60)
days of the latter presentation to obtain
credit.
4. A CDOA will receive one (1) credit for
each one (1) hour of presentation or
instruction of a paper or article they
have written, limited to four (4) credits
for presenting the same material within
a twelve (12) month period.
5. A CDOA will receive certification cred-
its only once in a twelve (12) month peri-
od for
attendance at identical educational pro-
grams.
6. The Certification Committee Chair-
man, Co-Chairmen, or their designee(s)
may assist in the
pre-determination of recertification cred-
its, upon request. Pre-determination will
be based on the
criteria listed in Section IV.B. Written
confirmation of the pre-determined
recertification credits will be provided
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
request.
7. Total credit hours claimed for an edu-
cational program are subject to audit,
within six (6) months of submittal, by the
Committee. In the event a
discrepancy occurs between
the hours claimed by a
CDOA and those awarded
based on an audit by the
Committee, the CDOA will
be notified, in
writing, within thirty (30)
days of the audit, of the credits award-
ed. The CDOA may
respond within sixty (60) days, providing
additional documentation. The Commit-
tee will
consider the response at the next sched-
uled meeting of the Committee. Follow-
ing review, the
Committee will notify the CDOA, in writ-
ing, within thirty (30) days, of its final
decision.
CDOA test will
be offered,

her battle with cancer on Febru-

Mildred began her career in the

working for Magnolia, she also
worked for Sinclair Crude Oil

In 1969, Mildred created M. Bell

CPL in 1981.
Mildred provided numerous
Training Seminars throughout
her career both in Houston and
Denver, helping to educate
DOA’s. She was a resident of
Houston and member of HADOA
for many years before moving to
Denver to be with her daughter
and grandchildren in 1998
where she remained active in
DADOA (Denver Association of
Division Order Analysts). Millie
was a charter member of
HADOA, NADOA, AAPL, served
on the board of DADOA, award-
ed the DADOA Presidents Coun-
cil Award in 2002, the NADOA

el in 2007.
Mildred Fay Bullock Bell’s life
was celebrated in Littleton, CO

flowers the family wishes for
donations to be made in her
memory to Porter Hospice Foun-
dation and/or in honor of her
doctor. Dr. Mary Jo Schmitz to
the Colorado Ovarian Cancer

� Advance the educa-tion, knowledge and professional interests of Division Order Ana-lysts
� Promote effective communication within the petroleum indus-try and the public
� Enhance the image and stature of the Division Order Ana-lyst work as a profes-sion
� Provide more oppor-tunities for achieving these objectives
