Good News!
Our popular Senior Exploration Manager (SEM) Course is back — in both Perth and Denver.
This Course is designed for all who are Senior Exploration Managers, who aspire to be senior managers or who routinely work with and support Senior Exploration Managers and want a better understanding of the challenges of management level positions in our industry.
We had 42 participants in attendance at our first post-pandemic in-person SEM Course (Perth, October 2022). That Course was a genuine success and showed that there was significant demand for the Course at the Perth venue.
So, we ran the Course again in Perth in February 2023, and another 35 eager, satisfied participants attended.
Based on that success, we will present the Course again in Perth (at our customary St. Catherine’s College venue) in February 2024. Please watch this site for the brochure and registration form. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact Jeff Welborn — jeff.welborn@wesminllc.com.
Also, and again in response to demand, we will resume the in-person SEM Course in Denver, Colorado, (July 18-21, 2023) at a new venue: (https://cccs.edu/conference-center/)
Lowry Conference Center, 1061 Akron Way (30 minutes from Denver International Airport)
The price for the Denver Course is US$3,200. Please use these links for the registration form and the brochure, and don’t hesitate to contact Jeff Welborn (jeff.welborn@wesminllc.com) for answers to any questions.
