SME Sections 
A Local Section is a legally constituted unit of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, Inc., encompassing a specific geographical area. Sections help enhance the professional development of their members and provide local service to the public. SME recognizes that the diversity of Local Section membership creates diverse needs, and that the Local Section Officers are in the best position to determine Section needs and direction.
More than 68 local SME Sections facilitate the exchange of information and increase grassroots participation in SME programs and services. Members have the opportunity to network with their peers and hear valuable presentations through section activities.
Lectures and Speakers
SME helps bring outstanding speakers to the Local Sections through the Henry Krumb Lecture Series. The program is offered to all local SME sections to enhance their appreciation and understanding of important new methods and technologies. Lecturers are selected from the professionals who present technical papers at the SME annual meeting. The Series is administered by SME.
Documentation and Support
SME publishes a MANUAL OF OPERATION FOR SME LOCAL SECTION which is updated each year. This manual has been created for the Local Section Officer as a tool in the operation of your Section and is intended to give you guidance, information, and ideas to assist you in the successful administration of your Section.
The staff of SME is ready to assist you in any way possible to help you support your Local Section. Please contact Tessa Baxter, SME Division & Local Section Coordinator, with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. E-mail: Tessa Baxter
