The Society
SEG Committees are a primary and recognized vehicle for identifying the opportunities
and challenges facing the Society. They bring together leaders from all levels of
the minerals industry to explore the many facets of the industry and help SEG make
the best decisions in moving the association forward. We invite you to join this
exclusive and innovative group of professionals. Your contribution will make a difference
- to the Society as well as the industry as a whole. As a member of a committee
you are provided an opportunity to truly influence our profession. The results of
your contributions are tangible; they will not only help shape the future of the
Society, but will provide you with great personal and professional satisfaction.
The Society goals are: the advancement of the science of mineral deposit geology;
dissemination of basic and applied economic geology through publications, meetings,
field trips, short courses, and lecture series; and promotion of high professional
and ethical standards among members. If you share these common interests, we encourage
