SME Sections provide a local touch point for members, offer professional development opportunities to the mining industry and provide local service to the public. Sections strengthen SME's mission to serve the mining community and support the advancement of the industry.
Volunteer leadership is at the core of SME. Any SME member can volunteer as a local Section leader. Contact your local Section leadership to fill a leadership need within your local Section.
