Patty Moore’s entire career has focused on communications and business development. Her foray into mining began in 1995 with Kilborn Engineering, starting as a writer and ending as Marketing Manager. She joined the newly formed Vancouver office of Wardrop Engineering, now Tetra Tech, in 2005, as Manager, Business Development, and in 2010 was promoted to Director, Business Development, responsible for their global team of business development specialists.

Moore began volunteering for CIM in 2001 when she was approached to join the CIM 2002 organizing committee. She has been part of the Vancouver organizing committee ever since. For the 2006 convention she was the Mining 4 Society (M4S) Chair, and introduced the concept of pavilions to walk attendees through the mining life cycle. She was Co-Chair of CIM 2010 and is the General Chair of CIM 2014. In addition, she has performed the roles of Secretary, Technical Chair and Chapter Chair for the Vancouver branch. In 2012 she became the Western District VP. During her two year tenure in this role, she also led the organizing team for MEMO 2013, and in 2013 became Chair of CIM’s Diversity Advisory Committee. Patty would like to thank Tetra Tech for their ongoing support of her efforts in these regards, and of CIM.
