Summary:The Mineral & Metallurgical Processing Division (MPD) Executive Committee recently conducted a survey to assess engagement and expectations from division membership. About 12% of MPD membership responded to this survey. The outcomes from the survey are being used by the MPD Executive Committee to guide MPD's mission and vision. With this information, the MPD can also assess member demographics and obtain a better understanding of who we are to better serve the division membership. MPD members have diverse work experiences, ranging from students to retirees, including engineering or technical roles, supervisory, managerial, sales and executive professional responsibilities working for businesses ranging from sole proprietorships to major public corporations. The SME vision is to be recognized as the pre-eminent professional society representing the global mining industry. MPD membership represents 42 countries, with members predominantly based in North America and other countries where English is commonly spoken.
