Amanda Beresford-Long 2026 Nomination

Why are you seeking a position on the WA Mining Club Committee?

I’m seeking a position on the WA Mining Club Committee because I’d really value the opportunity to contribute more meaningfully to a community that is actively shaping the future of our industry.

Through my involvement in the Get into Mining program, I’ve seen first hand the impact that the right exposure and environment can have on individuals. For many, it’s not just about learning about the industry – it’s about being able to see themselves in it and understand where they might fit.

I’m particularly interested in strengthening that connection between industry and emerging professionals in a way that feels practical, relevant and accessible. There’s a real opportunity to create experiences that go beyond awareness and genuinely open doors.

For me, it’s about making sure the work we do has a lasting impact – not just for the individuals coming through, but for the industry as a whole. I’d love to play a role in helping shape that.

 

Please outline the skills, experience, and perspectives you would bring to the Committee:

I bring a combination of structured delivery and adaptability, underpinned by Agile PRINCE2 and experience across both public and private sectors. I’m comfortable working in fast-paced environments and navigating complexity with a solution-focused mindset to deliver outcomes that are practical and sustainable.

My experience spans multiple industries, but a consistent theme has been recognising that people are the greatest asset in any organisation. I focus on how to optimise engagement, improve processes, and create environments where individuals can contribute meaningfully and perform at their best.

I’m also driven by a strong social conscience and a belief that creating access to opportunity has a broader impact on individuals, industry and the community. Through both my professional work and mentorship, I actively look for ways to connect people to opportunities and support them to build confidence and capability.

I bring a perspective that balances strategic intent with real-world application, and I’m motivated to contribute in a way that ensures initiatives are not only well designed, but genuinely impactful.
