- Quote: TMS membership over many years has meant experiencing membership of a truly global professional community facilitated by TMS; a better understanding and appreciation of the changing playing field in the bauxite and alumina industry reflected in the participants, presenters, and subjects of TMS annual meetings; and an opportunity to actively participate by tabling discussion subjects through authoring, presenting, and discussing papers. I feel proud and honored to receive this award. I wish it may help to attract more attention to the subject of my paper: sustainability. Attention from corporate decision makers, lawmakers, and last but not least, professionals in science and technology that may agree or disagree with elements of my paper but in the end will hopefully come up with ideas, methodologies, and technologies that improve on the current state of affairs.
