2010 Annual Meeting Recap


 The 2010 SNAME Annual Meeting was a wonderful week.   "In all aspects, the 2010 SNAME Annual Meeting was a wonderful success,” SNAME President Keith Michel declared. “I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who attended the meeting, the many SNAME volunteers who organized the technical programs and social events, the meeting sponsors, and those that exhibited at our EXPO.  

Attendance numbers confirm President Michel’s sentiments.  Over 1,000 members and nonmembers of the Society attended and participated, exceeding expectations. For the first time, Bellevue, WA, played host to SNAME’s largest annual event.
