The mission of NARO is to encourage and promote exploration and production of minerals in the United States while preserving, protecting, advancing and representing the interests and rights of mineral and royalty owners through education, advocacy and assistance to our members, to NARO chapter organizations, to government bodies and to the public.

From NARO Executive Director

These topics have been discussed here before but I believe it is important to revisit them every now and then.

First, the ROAR newsletter is a monthly publication, unless we combine two months due to timing or events. ROAR is sent first class at the end of the publication month. We pay for first class postage with a commercial mail service, so let us know if you don’t get your ROAR. NARO members can also read ROAR at www.naro-us.org.   Login and click on ROAR newsletter button on left side of page for every issue back to April 2005.

The primary purpose of NARO is to educate, serving as a national information clearinghouse for, not only our membership, but also state, local and federal government bodies and the general public.

NARO also serves, not only as a “watchdog” in State Capitols and the U.S, Congress but, when deemed necessary, brings to the spotlight of public scrutiny and debate, critical royalty owner issues and concerns that might, otherwise, be ignored or concealed.
