This change aims to align the association’s activities more closely with industry partners and reinforce its leadership role in shaping the future of mine surveying in Zimbabwe.
For the past few years, AMSZ held its AGM and Conference in November due to logistical challenges and scheduling conflicts. With these issues now resolved, the association will revert to its original August schedule.
AMSZ Secretary General Takunda Mubaiwa explained the shift in a statement, highlighting how it will assist the association.
“Historically, the AMSZ held its AGM and Conference in August. The move to November was a temporary measure in response to factors that are no longer relevant today. Returning to our traditional schedule aligns our activities with those of our partners at the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe, fostering greater collaboration and synergy,” Mubaiwa said.
The date for the 2025 AGM and Conference will be announced soon. AMSZ encourages its members and stakeholders to mark their calendars, with additional details on the program, venue, and registration to follow.
AMSZ values the ongoing support of its members and anticipates a successful event that will help shape the future of mine surveying in Zimbabwe.
Last year’s 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of AMSZ, held in November, ran under the theme “From Survey to Strategy: Empowering Mine Surveyors as Leaders in the Mining Industry for Sustainable Growth.” The event explored how mine surveyors can transition from technical specialists to strategic leaders, driving safety, efficiency, and sustainability within the mining industry.
Founded in 1985, AMSZ is an affiliate of the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe and a non-profit organization representing the interests of the mine surveying profession. Its members come from local and international mining organizations, as well as technical fields related to mine surveying.
Through its diverse membership, AMSZ plays a critical role in shaping policy and supporting the sustainable growth of Zimbabwe’s mining sector.
