SME Member Area of Expertise

1. SME Member Area of Expertise

SME has identified the need for the creation of a public affairs and government relations committee within SME and the assignment of professional staff to coordinate its activities. This committee will create a system for providing timely responses to urgent inquiries from SME stakeholders on topics concerning mining, minerals and extractive industries, and develop a structured program to develop Technical Briefing papers for informing and educating SME audiences.

One objective is to create an expert SME knowledge base that can be leveraged to advocate on behalf of the industry, to inform community leaders and educate congressional staff.

To accomplish this task and organize the expertise of SME's membership, please take a few minutes to answer the following short questions.
