We were pleased to host Wisconsin Assembly Representative Rob Stafsholt for a tour last week at the Covia mine in Menomonie. Covia is a WISA member company, and all WISA members are committed to meeting or exceeding all state and local requirements for safety and environmental regulations. Sand mining in Wisconsin is a highly regulated industry, and our members continually work to prove their commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. WISA always welcomes the opportunity to show our legislators how a responsible sand mining company operates.

Yesterday WISA member company Covia hosted a blood drive at their Maiden Rock facility, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, at a time when the need for blood donors is greater than ever. Severe winter weather throughout the country has forced the cancellation of blood drives and the closure of donation centers in parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Covia’s community event is just one example of how all WISA members have committed to lead in ethical ways that benefit society, the environment and the economy.

Recently on June 27, we lost a valued colleague, when Rich Budinger passed away unexpectedly. Rich played a crucial role in the startup of the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association (WISA) organization. He was the first President of WISA, and a practical spokesperson on behalf of the sand mining industry in Wisconsin. Many of us worked closely with Rich over the years. He will be deeply missed, as a leader, mentor, and friend. More details can be found in his obituary, here:
