Welcome to the Pennsylvania Oil & Gas Landowner Alliance (POGLA)

Our Mission: To educate and advocate on oil and gas landowners issues, working toward the equitable development of Pennsylvania's natural resources.    

POGLA supports members who actively manage their oil and gas rights, royalties, and properties. Through educational programs, informative newsletters, member resources, and this website, we provide the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions.

Our focus is on the issues that matter most to Pennsylvania oil and gas rights owners. We monitor legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments across the Commonwealth while keeping members informed about national trends and policies that may affect their interests.

POGLA is a volunteer-led organization, and our success depends on the time and talents of our members. Whether you can help with events, outreach, communications, or committee work, your involvement makes a difference.

Interested in volunteering? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us at [email protected] to learn how you can get involved. 

POGLA Board of Directors

The POGLA Board of Directors is elected by the membership to serve three-year terms. Directors appointed or elected to fill a vacancy serve the remainder of the unexpired term.

The Board consists of up to 21 members, including 20 voting directors and the immediate past president.

Serving on the Board is an excellent opportunity to help guide POGLA's mission, represent the interests of Pennsylvania oil and gas rights owners, and contribute to the organization's future.
