Diamonds in the Rough speak at the 2023 IMRB International Mines Rescue Body Conference in South Africa
Diamonds in the Rough is a project initiated by Kari Lentowicz and Bruce Coley to raise women’s profiles in the mining industry and non-traditional roles through mine rescue. Their goal is to foster the development of a woman’s underground mine rescue team to advance and retain the skill level necessary to provide emergency rescue services and compete internationally in a traditionally male-dominated environment.
Our Artemis Project member Kari Lentowicz, co-founder of Diamonds in the Rough Emergency Rescue Organization., was invited to speak at the 2023 IMRB International Mines Rescue Body Conference in South Africa. Kari leads the only female-only mine rescue services team.

If you know any women interested in learning more about mine rescue or emergency response, connect them with Kari and her team.
Congratulations, Kari Lentowicz and Diamonds in the Rough team. You deserve all the recognition!
