These policies are plans for service, connection, research, and inclusion. They are written as goals to work toward, not as claims of completed work.

A commitment to lead with responsibility, respect, and clear communication.

Official Endorsement
As the Mining Departmental Head of AusIMM, I am pleased to endorse Margaret Odenkey for the position of President.
Even as an ordinary member within both the UMaT Mining Engineering Department and AusIMM, Margaret was part of a dedicated team that pushed for improvements in the Mining Engineering curriculum to help produce globally competitive and quality engineers. With little to gain personally, she remained committed and actively followed the process through to the Vice Chancellor level in the interest of students and the future of the department.
Her willingness to pursue meaningful changes without holding office demonstrates leadership, commitment, and vision. I strongly believe that when entrusted with the mantle of leadership, she will continue to drive impactful change within both the organization and the university community. She has my full endorsement.
