THANK YOU!
Your support helps us provide high quality professional development resources. Find out how you can benefit by becoming a CIM industry partner or corporate member.
President-Elect’s Message
I am honoured and excited to participate in the execution of the shared vision that will guide CIM and its members, sponsors and volunteers this year. The challenges and opportunities we face as a community underscore the importance of our mission and the strategic priorities that will focus our efforts in 2025 and beyond.
Our first priority remains the pursuit of technical excellence. Innovation is the cornerstone of our industry’s future, and CIM will continue to provide leading technical resources, knowledge-sharing platforms, and professional development opportunities to empower our members. Through our renowned conferences, publications, and educational programs, we will build on our legacy of delivering innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of the mining, metallurgy, and petroleum sectors.
Equally important is fostering the strength and resilience of our community. Our industry thrives because of its
people—the dedicated professionals who drive progress and innovation. As we embrace the future, CIM will remain a hub for collaboration, inclusivity, and mentorship. We are committed to creating an environment where all voices are heard, talents are nurtured, and partnerships flourish.
A key focus for the coming year is delivering operational excellence within the organization to serve our community of members, societies and branches. CIM is dedicated to ensuring efficient delivery of services to its members by investing in digital platforms, streamlining workflows, and maintaining a commitment to financial sustainability; to enhance the value we provide to our community.
Finally, we recognize the importance of mining in society and our role as industry participants to amplify our voices. Global priorities continue to focus on sustainability, resource efficiency, and energy transition, and our industry is poised to play a pivotal role in the development of a new paradigm using innovation and embracing new technologies. CIM will continue to advocate for the critical role that resources play in advancing modern society, from supporting green technologies to contributing to economic development. By championing responsible practices and engaging with stakeholders, we will reinforce our industry’s positive impact on the world.
This is a pivotal moment for our industry, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to work with each of you for the advancement of CIM and our members. I invite you to join me in pursuing our strategic priorities with passion and purpose. Together, we will ensure a future for CIM and our industry
defined by progress, resilience, and shared success.
I would like to thank Ian Pearce as the outgoing President for his commitment and leadership over the past year. Ian led the development of the strategic plan, and his continued efforts will have a lasting impact on CIM and our industry for years to come.
Thank you for your dedication to CIM and I look forward to the journey ahead.
Candace MacGibbon CIM President-Elect 2025-2026
