Congratulations to Tegan Smith who is the first Institute of Quarrying Australia woman to win the Caernarfon Award.
Tegan presented her winning paper ‘Changing Perspectives‘ at the IQA conference in March 2022 which focused on the current language used to describe the industry, the perception of the industry in the community and the need for the industry to change its narrative.
