Dear Members,
I hope this year has been a
safe and successful year for you, your business, and
your families! Our 2010 MEMSA conference was a great success
with new faces from both North and South America.
Mr.
William S. Tate,
Executive Vice President with Bucyrus
International, Inc. and President of Bucyrus America, Inc. delivered
our Thursday morning key note address. In this role, Mr. Tate is responsible for the Bucyrus
sustainable development program and key customer accounts.
He talked to us about the Bucyrus renewed commitment to safety and the achievement of zero harm.
It is clear that safety is
fundamental to his leadership at Bucyrus.
We
received very positive feedback on the program content
and overall conference. Feedback from the membership
(positive or negative) is tremendously important to our
organization. The goal of the MEMSA board of directors
is to continually improve each year’s conference in
providing attendees with new information & contacts to
assist in the course of their normal work days.
We all know that the past
several years have been difficult times for mining and there would
seem to be more hard times on the way before improvement.
However, MEMSA is a great way to network with fellow
mining folks and discuss electrical or other interests.
Networking and technical improvement is one way to keep
current.
The 2011 MEMSA conference
will be held September 7,8,9, 2011 at the Sand Key Sheraton in
Clearwater. Many great things are planned for the
program including trade show exhibits. We have many great papers
confirmed so be sure to put it on your calendar.
Sincerely,
John
