The West Virginia Coal Association’s Annual Mining Symposium is set for April 18-19 at the Embassy Suites in Charleston.  Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend.

This year’s Symposium is cosponsored by the West Virginia Coal Mining Institute and will serve as our combined Mining symposium and Joint Spring meeting.  The program will feature a lineup of excellent speakers and timely topics geared for all mining professionals.  Engineering credits will also be available for Symposium participants.

The April Symposium will also feature our Annual Mountaineer Guardian Safety Awards and Environmental Excellence Awards Luncheons.

We ask that you mark these days on your calendar and plan to join us in April to make our 49^th Symposium a success.

Online registration, sponsorship opportunities and other Symposium details will follow nest week.

The second date we ask you to hold is August 10-12 for our Annual Membership Meeting at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs WV.  This meeting has been moved to the second week in August to accommodate the LIV Golf Tournament scheduled for the previous week at the resort.  Please mark your calendars now for this important event and look for other details to be released in the coming weeks.
