Northwest Region Networking Function – Event Update

Women in Mining NSW has officially launched in the Northwest region. 

The inaugural networking event was held on 29th August at Gunnedah Courthouse with 26 attendees. A range of companies from the region were represented including Whitehaven Coal and Idemitsu (who both sponsored the event), Action Drill and Blast, Davidson Recruitment and Prospect Recruitment.

Co-organiser Veronica Towndrow-Bree, Coal Processing Superintendent at Whitehaven Coal, welcomed everyone to the event and provided an overview of the AusIMM and Women in Mining NSW. Veronica also told those in attendance what they can expect to see from WIMnet Northwest within the next year. There was a lot of interest and enthusiasm from everyone who attended the event for what’s to come for the future.

Overall there was a great vibe in the room and everyone enjoyed themselves.  Several women expressed an interest in joining the newly-established Northwest regional events subcommittee and organising events to come. Well done to the organisers – the Northwest network looks to have a successful future and the region will see move events over the coming months.
