2018-2019 IMA MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
Thank you for your
support as a member
of the IMA!
Each and every member in this directory make our association – and Minnesota’s iron
mining industry – strong.
We are grateful to those who steer the IMA through their involvement in our
association’s committees, which focus on topics like environment, safety and health,
workforce and education, membership, and public information. If you’d like to get
more involved with any of the committees, check out our committee page to find the
committee chairs!
Thank you also to all those who have attended, sponsored, and otherwise shown
support for our annual events, like the summer golf outing, winter curling event, and
annual dinner in December – this year to be held at the Greysolon Plaza in Duluth.
Through these events, we hope you’ve made connections that will help Minnesota’s
iron mining industry grow and evolve.
We hope our weekly IMA e-newsletter has kept you feeling up-to-date on matters
regarding the legislature, steel tariffs, American iron mining, and the global market.
Please let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see more or less of in our
newsletter!
Finally, a big thank you to the members that have volunteered their time to interact
with the public at different events and speaking engagements over the past year. Our
goal in the year ahead is to energize our membership to feel comfortable speaking
up and advocating in support of our industry.
Minnesota is a top five mining state in the nation, because of iron mining. Our
iron mines produce 40-45 million tons of ore each year, which accounts for 85% of
domestic iron ore.
For more than 130 years, Minnesota’s iron mines have mined the ore that built,
defended, and supported our nation – right next to some of the cleanest water in the
nation. That’s because environmental stewardship is a core value of our industry.
In Minnesota, former iron mine sites are now used for bike trails, golf courses, fishing
and swimming lakes, and even sources of drinking water for local towns.
The IMA is proud to represent YOU - the dedicated, responsible, innovative
hardworking men and women who provide the majority of the nation’s iron ore safely -
and we want to help spread the message of your important work. Thank you for
your important work to keep this industry strong and prosperous.
