The IMAA Women Leaders in Mining and Aggregates (WLMA) introduces a series of workshops designed to provide the tools and foundation for career advancement in the aggregates industry.
WHAT ARE THE WLMA WORKSHOPS?
The WLMA Workshops are quarterly workshops that can be attended as a progressive course or can be attended singly. Each workshop will focus on 3 key areas:
♦ Individual development
♦ Industry knowledge
♦ Networking
The workshops are geared toward developing professionals in the aggregates industry, with a focus on developing women and male allies who are new to the industry or looking to take the next step in their career. The workshops will also provide a network of support for those attending the sessions – helping to develop goals and hold each other accountable.

It was nice to be in a room full of women who are also in the industry and to know that they face similar challenges as me. The topics that were discussed were very relative to me and informative, so I enjoyed that, as well.

This [NETWORKING: JUST SHOWING UP IS NOT ENOUGH] was a great presentation. Made me realize I need to update my business cards and network more.

Samantha [OWNING YOUR STRENGTHS AND CALLING ON THE STRENGTHS OF
OTHERS] was great, and what she talked about was extremely relevant to me and, in my opinion, women in our industry. We are definitely a minority, and we need to build each other up and support one another.

I really enjoyed her presentation [OVERCOMING IMPOSTER SYNDROME] and energy. Perfect for after lunch. A topic I have never discussed but obviously affects so many. Great to have these tough conversations in a safe environment.
