ABOUT THE EVENT

Honoring Scott D. Sheffield, CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, one of the premier independent energy companies in the United States, with The Raymond Plank Award for Visionary Leadership.
Join us on November 2, 2023, at The Revaire in Houston, Texas, as we honor our Founder, Raymond Plank, and present the 2023 Raymond Plank Award for Visionary Leadership to Mr. Sheffield for his innovative leadership and contributions to the oil and gas industry. Nothing exemplifies Mr. Sheffield’s visionary leadership more than his foresight and commitment to unlocking the enormous potential of the Permian Basin Region, which provides the United States and the world with much-needed energy. Mr. Sheffield will be introduced by the recipient of our 2019 Raymond Plank Award for Visionary Leadership, Rex Tillerson.
The evening will feature performances by Ucross artists, a celebration of our program partners from Houston, and an auction. The live auction will provide excellent opportunities to bid on some exciting travel packages, experiences, and items.
All funds raised before and during the event will assist Ucross in completing our 40th Anniversary Campaign, which supports residencies for more than 115 artists each year, thoughtful stewardship of our historic 20,000-acre ranch, and continued investment in our program and facilities. Your sponsorship will help Ucross remain a meaningful and relevant resource for the next 40 years.*
*If you can't attend, we hope you'll consider donating to this worthy mission.
