SUMMARY - FY2012 ANNUAL
MEETING and Member Forum
The
FY2012 SCIP Annual Meeting and Member Forum was held on
Tuesday,
September 13, 2011 in Chicago, IL at
McCormick Place
60 members attended the 8:30 am Breakfast and Business
meeting in the morning the SCIP Forum which followed
at the conclusion of the board meeting.
The annual Forums ended around 3:30 pm.
Events included a breakfast sponsored by Draper prior to the board
meeting and a luncheon sponsored by PPG.
This year Arkema's early evening special social event
was attendance at the White Sox-Detroit Tigers baseball game at
US Cellular Field - Comiskey Park. The
members who attended were treated to two luxury skyboxes and all
the food and luscious deserts they could eat. Everyone seemed to
enjoy socializing as much as watching the game.
The SCIP Booth was well located near the CSI
Booth and it was well staffed at all times. What is SCIP
campaign buttons were seen everywhere on the convention floor.
More news and minutes of the Board meeting will be posted when
adopted by the Board. Check back soon for more photos
of the events.

Membership Renewal Information
Personalized
Membership Renewal Forms are sent to each
member by email from the Treasurer/Membership Chair, and are not
available online. One reason for this process is to verify that
the member has a current working email address for use in
sending announcements and ballots. Please update your profile
and keep the membership chair notified of any email address
change.
If a member/affiliate has not received a
renewal form by May 31 of the current year for the following
year's membership term, contact
treasurer at scip.com.
