It was well attended with 112 golfers who joined us on a lovely September day. Our immensely popular golf outing at Gold Canyon Golf Resort in Arizona, coming on Nov. 22, 2024, blazed the path and continues to set the bar.</p> <p>The Mineral Education Coalition (MEC) has had another excellent year, hosting its first Arizona teacher workshop at MINEXCHANGE 2024 and is now preparing for another at MINEXCHANGE 2025 SME Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, CO, Feb. 23-26. MEC introduced a new children’s activity book, updated curriculum items, attended NSTA conferences and coming up is the first-ever Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST). The MEC is more vibrant than ever.</p> <p>“All That Glitters Is Gold” is the theme for the SMEF Annual Gala held during MINEXCHANGE 2025 Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, CO. In conjunction with World Gold 2025 and record gold prices, we could not have asked for a better theme. Join us as we build on last year’s success of nearly 560 gala attendees and the most impressive silent auction we have had in recent memory. You won’t find a better way to kickoff MINEXCHANGE 2025.</p> <p>As we look ahead to 2025, we do have two critical programs that need your support: our ABET committee provides Program Evaluators for the ABET accreditation process at universities and without them, we won’t have programs that qualify for Professional Engineer or Geologist licensure. Our Ph.D. Fellowship and Career Development Grant program has awarded 22 Ph.D. Fellowships and 18 Career Development grants made a major impact to U.S. higher education. Simply put, without your support, these programs cannot sustain.It is my pleasure to share the great news we have enjoyed over the last year as well as the excitement we have for 2025, but it is most important to recognize that we are making crucial steps forward to inspire the next generation to meet the needs of a mineral-rich future. Our Foundation is committed to improving the supply of minerals and access to the energy and materials they produce by harnessing the power of education and outreach. Thank you for helping us bring this mission and vision to life.</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Tom Rauch<br /> SME Foundation President</p> </p> </span> </div> <p> </p> <style> /* Slideshow container */ .slideshow-RightColumn { } /* Hide the images by default */ .mySlidesRightColumn1 { display: none; } /* Hide the images by default */ .mySlidesRightColumn2 { display: none; } /* Hide the images by default */ .mySlidesRightColumn3 { display: none; } </style> <div class="slideshow-RightColumn" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border-top:20px solid white; border-right:10px solid white;"> <center> </center> </div> <script> var slideRightColumn1Index = 0; showSlidesRightColumn1(); function showSlidesRightColumn1() { var i; var slidesRightColumn1 = document.getElementsByName("mySlidesRightColumn1"); for (i = 0; i < slidesRightColumn1.length; i++) { slidesRightColumn1[i].style.display = "none"; } slideRightColumn1Index++; if (slideRightColumn1Index > slidesRightColumn1.length) {slideRightColumn1Index = 1} slidesRightColumn1[slideRightColumn1Index-1].style.display = "block"; setTimeout(showSlidesRightColumn1, 15000); // Change image every 15 seconds } var slideRightColumn2Index = 0; showSlidesRightColumn2(); function showSlidesRightColumn2() { var i; var slidesRightColumn2 = document.getElementsByName("mySlidesRightColumn2"); for (i = 0; i < slidesRightColumn2.length; i++) { slidesRightColumn2[i].style.display = "none"; } slideRightColumn2Index++; if (slideRightColumn2Index > slidesRightColumn2.length) {slideRightColumn2Index = 1} slidesRightColumn2[slideRightColumn2Index-1].style.display = "block"; setTimeout(showSlidesRightColumn2, 15000); // Change image every 15 seconds } var slideRightColumn3Index = 0; showSlidesRightColumn3(); function showSlidesRightColumn3() { var i; var slidesRightColumn3 = document.getElementsByName("mySlidesRightColumn3"); for (i = 0; i < slidesRightColumn3.length; i++) { slidesRightColumn3[i].style.display = "none"; } slideRightColumn3Index++; if (slideRightColumn3Index > slidesRightColumn3.length) {slideRightColumn3Index = 1} slidesRightColumn3[slideRightColumn3Index-1].style.display = "block"; setTimeout(showSlidesRightColumn3, 15000); // Change image every 15 seconds } </script> <div style="text-align:left; width:640px; padding-left:70px; padding-right:30px; font-size:100%;"> Related article search: <br> <div style="padding-top:10px; padding-left:0px; padding-bottom:20px;"> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord=Tom Rauch&submit=1"> Tom Rauch </a> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord= SME Foundation President&submit=1"> SME Foundation President </a> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord= SMEF Golf Outing&submit=1"> SMEF Golf Outing </a> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord= West Virginia&submit=1"> West Virginia </a> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord= Mineral Education Coalition&submit=1"> Mineral Education Coalition </a> <a href="featureFinder.cfm?articleKeyWord= MINEXCHANGE 2025&submit=1"> MINEXCHANGE 2025 </a> </div> </div> <!-- /.post .format-image --> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="black-wrapper"> <div class="container inner"> <div class="divide30"> </div> <div class="row"> <section class="col-sm-3 widget"> <h3 class="section-title widget-title"> About </h3> <p> ©2021 SME All Rights Reserved.
