Abstract

In 1972, in Denver, CO, five women with a shared goal joined forces to create the first formal space for women in the mining industry: Women in Mining USA (WIM USA). When the organization first took shape, few could have predicted that a small gathering of women would grow into one of the most influential organizations that would advocate for inclusion in the industry. Now, more than 50 years later, the group remains a vital network for professionals across the United States with a diverse array of membership and chapters.
