SAVE-THE-DATE

 

I am pleased to announce the 7th Annual Arizona State Mine Inspector (ASMI) Fall Mine Conference on October 13, 2016. As part of the program, I will be highlighting the outstanding achievements of our industry and presenting awards to mines and mine operators who lead our vital industry in safety and mine reclamation.

 

Mining is essential to our everyday lives, and it is possible for the mining activities to have a positive impact on the environment. Remember, if it isn’t grown, it has to be mined. Maintaining this robust and economically diverse industry can only be possible when we work together to protect the health of our employees and the environment.

 

We are planning an exciting event and I encourage your participation through attendance, sponsorship, and the application or nomination of outstanding safety performers or reclamation projects. Please refer to the enclosed materials for conference details, award entries and deadlines for registration and submittal.

 

Please join us at the ...on October 13, 2016.
