COLLABORATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS

develop solutions tailored to the needs of our sector. Being a

BEING A MEMBER OF THE PDAC
gives one the opportunity to meet people from all over the
world. Members come together and face the issues and challenges
of the day-to-day business, a network of people, where you come
to value partnerships. I started attending industry functions 29
years ago with my husband Frank Grieco of P.R. Engineering Ltd.
Frank and his brother Joe were tragically taken from us in 2007.
When I attended my first PDAC function without Frank, I realized
that all the people I had met in the industry years before were
there to offer their concern and compassion and offers of
support and mentoring. Frank would be proud of all of the PDAC
members that came to my side. He was proud to be a member and
was a staunch supporter of the PDAC. Frank always said it was
like a family, and I am proud to be a family member as well.

FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, our
department and its individual professional staff have been
strong supporters of PDAC – the clear voice of Canada’s
exploration and mining industry. Our corporate involvement with
this internationally recognized industry leader has played a
vital role in our success in advancing exploration activity and
investment in our province's mineral industry. We share many
common goals with PDAC, and particularly support its continuing
commitment to advancing best industry practices in assessment
and development of this country’s resources. Ongoing leadership
by PDAC in issues of the environment and local community
engagement, via its e3 Plus program, is fundamental to our goal
of building a strong, sustainable industry in Newfoundland and
Labrador that maximizes benefits and opportunities for all our
citizens.

THE PDAC HOLDS AN IMPORTANT PLACE in
the global minerals industry. Through its publications, events
and annual convention, the organization greatly contributes to
industry growth and development of the minerals community, and
thus the global economy. From humble beginnings over 50
years ago as a small Canadian group of research scientists, SGS
Minerals Services has grown into the international industry
leader. We have been a corporate member of the PDAC and a
sponsor of the annual convention for many years. This membership
keeps us in the forefront as the needs of our industry continue
to evolve and as the range of services we provide continues to
grow.

AS A STUDENT MEMBER,
the PDAC convention provides the means to interact with
potential employers, colleagues, and old friends. It’s
that time of the year when you are able to reconnect with people
from all over the world. The global mining industry is a
small community and I highly recommend students joining the
PDAC. Not only can you attend the annual convention, but
you have the opportunity to participate in outstanding events
such as the Student-Industry Mineral Exploration workshop and be
part of an organization that takes a serious look at sustainable
development, aboriginal affairs, and the environment.
