Since returning to Australia after living in the USA for 8 years, I have noticed a significant increase in the number of women in mining as I travel around the country.

Leading companies make it a practice to be contributing members of industry organizations serving their industry.  The impact and importance of industry organizations cannot be overstated. There are many benefits of being a contributing member of an industry organization. A few of the primary advantages are listed below.
