2026 Trustee Associates Annual Meeting

Friends, colleagues, and Associates of the AAPG Foundation Trustees:

Please make plans to join us for this year's Trustee Associates Annual Meeting at the Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Canada.

Set in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, the Fairmont Banff Springs offers guests access to an exceptional range of activities and amenities. On property, you'll find world-class golf, fishing, and hiking, along with unique shopping, a full-service spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and twelve restaurants and bars to suit every taste.

Just minutes away, downtown Banff is a vibrant hub for shopping and dining, featuring mountain gear, Canadian crafts, souvenirs, coffee shops, and an array of restaurants and pubs. For those interested in culture and history, the Whyte Museum and the historic Mount Royal Hotel are nearby highlights. Sightseeing opportunities abound, including the Banff Gondola with sweeping views from Sulphur Mountain, as well as scenic walks and hikes at Tunnel Mountain and the Bow River Loop.

No matter your interests, Banff Springs truly offers something for everyone — an ideal setting to relax, reconnect, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views in the company of friends.

You won't want to miss the featured field trip, "The Front Ranges of the Canadian Rockies," led by Mark Cooper and Marian Warren. This excursion includes visits to Lake Louise, Bow Falls, Canmore, Mount Norquay, Castle Mountain, and Moraine Lake.

As always, we look forward to spending meaningful time together — both informally and during our business meetings — where you can share your perspectives on capital deployment and learn more about how we steward your investments.

Join your new and longtime friends in supporting the AAPG Foundation Trustee Associates. We look forward to seeing you in Banff!

Marty Hewitt, Trustee Associates Chairman
Kay Pitts, Trustee Associates Vice Chair
Dan Billman, Trustee Associates Secretary/Treasurer
