4- County Group Momentum
A Result of New Affiliates
Last December at the invitation of 4-County founder and coordinator, a 3-man team of individuals from Co-exprise Inc. out of Wexford, PA came to speak about their company’s out-of-the-box strategies and advanced technological advances, as related to garnering top leases. A Result of New Affiliates
Their presentation then and at subsequent meetings has been impressive in its scope and attention to detail. It has become obvious that leasing groups have the capability and greater likelihood of maximizing financial benefits and safe-guarding the environment when the collective acreage they hold is represented by a multi-skilled team of business people. The latter is what Co-exprise Marketplace has brought to 4-County.
The meetings held in February and March have served two purposes … allowing past and new 4-County members to meet a part of the CX team, hearing about their company’s innovative approach to leasing. The second purpose was for current members to work together, fine tuning details of a lease that will best serve us. Even as the membership strives to mesh hometown values and personal needs into this agreement, we are constantly made aware of ever-changing technological advances and business practices when it comes to Marcellus (and now Utica) development. This resource development has become a world-wide project focused on us … those in the Marcellus /Utica fairway.
Our need to band together for bargaining strength is greater now than it has ever been! Recognizing the value of having a company that handles business concerns across the US represent 4-County Leasing Group and its growing membership is now apparent. Co-exprise brought that level of business acumen to the table when it became affiliated with 4-County.
We began as a grassroots movement that has grown literally from cousin helping cousin, neighbor helping neighbor, and friends sharing the team approach to maximize the development of their rights. We have been drawn out of our rural stronghold into a world that is hungry for and needs our natural resources. This happened earlier in our history and it’s happening again.
The momentum 4-County Leasing Group has to successfully ride the crest of this wave comes from education, involvement, and the recognition that a single individual cannot handle the job alone. Whoever said “No man is an island unto himself” could have easily been referring to a single rights owner and/or the person representing him. We have moved beyond that.
Groups come together for strength due to a common goal. Their representation also needs to be a group when it comes to natural gas and oil … major commodities on the world’s stage. Co-exprise is such a group, strongly advocating the team approach. They have made it work across our entire country. Consider all the groups with rights acreage … school units, families, gov’t agencies, churches, shallow well drillers, businesses. CX has made the leasing experience a positive one for all of these, and its team has vowed to do the same for us. We are not “small potatoes”!
Find out for yourself. The next meeting of the 4-County Leasing Group with Co-exprise speakers is on April 12th @ the Shinglehouse Fire Hall … 6:30 PM for those not attending previous meetings …
7:30PM for those continuing to be a part of the “fine-tuning” process. As always questions will be addressed, and individual briefings will be held @ the end of the meeting.
After this point all members will be able to follow the Group’s progress on-line, and through periodic reports by mail. Our momentum is your momentum. Your choice will definitely affect the rest of your life, and at least the next two generations. What will it be?
