As we all head closer to the end of 2020, a year that will never be forgotten, I thought it would be fitting to focus on what SANIRE has achieved during the past year.

This year was not only challenging for all of us in our personal and professional lives, but also for SANIRE. Rapid change was the order of the day to comply with the COVID-19 rules and regulations. We had to adjust quickly. We as council are proud to report that we have had a lot of firsts in 2020.

We held our first virtual AGM, our first series of webinars, and our first virtual Rock Engineering Practical Exam. Our SANIRE Council has moved to virtual meetings as well. We also had the quickest financial year-end under the administration of Mines Professional Associations Secretariat (MPAS), coupled with fully functional online membership database. These are only a few highlights of our improved administration.
