Disagree better? There's a novel concept! Discuss differences? Find common ground? Maintain a rational and friendly discourse? I've long shared with my daughter that you can disagree without being disagreeable - and the outcome is often better than one developed in an echo chamber, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to have taken hold everywhere. Hats off to the National Governors Association for their #DisagreeBetter campaign - there are some great videos in this series!

Here is an excellent opportunity to recognize a woman in mining who: (1) has shown leadership, mentorship, and enthusiasm for the industry and (2) is making or has made a lasting impact on the mining or mine service field. Women in Mining USA, Women In Mining Nevada, and WIM24 attendees, think of the women who have impacted your careers and consider nominating one of them today!

Coolest public speaking event to-date? Hands-down the WIM24 Women in Mining National Conference hosted by Women In Mining Nevada! The event itself is stellar, but the details are over the top! I was honored to participate in a panel discussion with Dana Pray, Tricia Evans, Claudia Valdivia. ESG, PMP, LPEC, and Sung-Joo L.. The thoughts we shared were transcribed by an artist onto a whiteboard. What an amazing craft! Ink Factory Studio

Front page, ladies! Hats off to the amazing work of the Women In Mining Nevada to coordinate 120 volunteers to speak to local high school juniors and seniors about mining. I think all of the volunteers learned something, too! Looking forward to the Women in Mining USA conference today.

This is an excellent article discussing the need to talk about mining. As an industry, we've done ourselves no favors by hiding in the shadows hoping our neighbors will forget about us. We need to talk openly and honestly about our operations, our products, and our role in the economy with all stakeholders. We need humility, but we can't operate with blinders playing the game of "if we don't see you, you can't see us." Honest communication is critical for the mining industry to thrive. Thanks Briana Clark for sharing your important message!

I’m excited to participate in the Women in Mining USA National Conference this spring in Elko, NV. I hope to see you there!

Calling all miners! We are so fortunate to be working in the industry at a time when women are taken seriously and have a seat at the table. Please consider taking the opportunity to recognize a stellar woman in mining who has helped to blaze that trail. Nominations for the 2024 100 Global Inspirational Women In Mining will be accepted through March 17.

I'll be attending the amazing Women in Mining 2024 National Conference. Let me know if you're planning to attend so that we can say Hi! 👋 Or register now and join me at the event! https://lnkd.in/gzR-hSQ9 via #Whova event app
