Who We Are
The West Virginia Coal Forum was created in 1986 under the auspices of the Mine Safety & Technical Review Committee and at the direction of the West Virginia Legislative Committee on Coal Mining.

The Forum also provides a means for management and labor leaders to develop joint legislative issues and programs and to promote the coal industry.
