An abundance of thanks to all in the TMRA family! I’m amazed year after year how all the moving parts of the Association produce such an excellent value product to TMRA members. The phrase "you get out of it what you put into it" definitely holds true in the case of TMRA.
To our TMRA Family, THANKS! Thanks for being a part of this TEAM, our efforts, struggles and successes. While it shouldn’t, I’m still amazed at the heart and soul of those committed to TMRA and, really, what that means to our Texas families, economy, construction, mining, energy generation and related industries.
The recent TMRA 2018 Annual Meeting, held at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort & Spa near Bastrop, TX, was both educational and fun. The attendance was great and the level of Sponsorships and Education/Outreach Auction participation were well over expectations. Texas teachers and students will benefit from your generosity. Thanks to all who participated! Click below to see a selection of images from the event!

As we prepare for the next legislative session the TMRA Government Affairs committee is cultivating and providing industry education to seasoned and new member relationships. Also, we are working in concert with the TMRA Board of Directors on the end of session Sine Die party. As we look forward, we have to look at some highlights from 2018.
Looking back at 2018 — it was an excellent year for TMRA’s Teacher Workshops. We had over 100 teachers attend 5 workshops. And none of these workshops would be possible without the support and help of TMRA members. Especially those mining sites that hosted tours and provided experts to share with the attendees.

Transport and haulage remain some of the most dangerous jobs in mining, with most fatalities and accidents occurring when humans work with vehicles. With opportunities for driverless vehicles on the rise, truck manufacturer ETF is optimistic about the future of automation, but questions remain as to how ready the mining industry is to implement autonomous technology on a large scale.
Other than water, there is very little in the world more boring than sand. Yet, both have captured the attention of the oil and gas industry for their role as crucial ingredients in the drilling and completion of a shale well. Sustained oil and gas production combined with an escalating increase in lateral length and proppant intensity is driving "extreme" demand for frack sand.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) proposed definition of "waters of the U.S." (WOTUS) provides long-overdue clarity regarding the scope of federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction, and restores the appropriate balance between state and federal authority over waterways, the National Mining Association (NMA) said recently.
Secretary Perry recently spoke at the Future of Electricity Forum hosted by the Consumer Energy Alliance in Washington, D.C.
