How To Get Started

How to Get Started

The AAPLConnect Online Communities are made available by the American Association of Professional Landmen as a service to land professionals and those associated with landwork relating to the mineral and/or energy industries. The Online Communities consist of forums to share ideas and to support professional connections, events, milestones and obituaries. Please keep in mind that postings should be professional in nature and should not be defamatory, malicious or threatening. The Online Communities are not intended as forums for commercial transactions such as the buying or selling of mineral and other oil and gas interests. Use discussion postings to ask a question and have a conversation with industry peers. Comment on other members posts and keep the discussion going. All postings represent the view of the author(s). Postings in the AAPLConnect Online Communities neither imply AAPL approval of the opinions expressed nor accuracy of the facts stated. AAPL is not responsible for the opinions and accuracy of the information posted.

Follow our step-by-step instructions below to get up and running on AAPLConnect and collaborating with your peers.
