Subject: 2026 MPD Exec and Unit Committee Meetings - Open to All!
Happy Tuesday everyone! We are just over a week away from the MINEXCHANGE 2026 SME Annual Conference! I would like to personally invite all of the membership interested in mineral processing or metallurgical matters to join us at the Mineral & Metallurgical Processing Division Executive Committee and Unit Committee meetings. The MPD Executive Committee meeting held from 9 to 11:30 AM on Sunday, February 22 in Salt Lake Ballroom A at the Hyatt is open to all where we will discuss division business. The Unit Committee meeting, also open to all, will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 PM that afternoon also in Salt Lake Ballroom A at the Hyatt where we will be discussing and planning the technical program for the 2027 Annual Conference. If you have ideas for topics or sessions, please join us and help make your impact on the division, or just take the first step to get involved and meet the MPD Executive Committee. We hope to see you there!
