SAAGH Board of Directors

Luis Cosme was elected President of the Shell Alumni Association of Greater Houston for 2024 at the November Board meeting.  Many thanks to Steve Paul for his 5 years of service as the SAAGH president and to the returning Officers and Directors who continue to provide outstanding leadership for SAAGH.

SAAGH is a 501(c)(4) tax exempt non-profit corporation existing exclusively to promote social welfare activity for Shell alumni.  SAAGH accomplishes this mission by organizing social, informational, and volunteer activities for its members throughout the Greater Houston Area. The entity is managed by a diverse 16 member Board of Directors who are enthusiastic volunteers from the ranks of Shell alumni serving two-year terms, which may be renewed. Some of the Directors are also elected to serve in officer positions such as President, certain Vice Presidents, and Treasurer. The Board meets bimonthly (in odd numbered months) to discharge its responsibilities, which include promoting fellowship and volunteerism among Shell alumni, maintaining a connection between Shell and SAAGH members, and ensuring the 501(c)(4) corporation remains viable and financially sound.

Members who wish to serve as an SAAGH Director should apply via email to membership@saagh.com.  We welcome applicants from all background areas of Shell, but especially desirable talents include IT background and specifically web page design and PayPal/WooCommerce  knowledge.  Applicants must be willing to commit to attend board meetings, coordinate one or more SAAGH social offerings and advance the SAAGH mission of being a vibrant, attractive and relevant organization for Shell alumni.
