Exciting News!

As a special added member benefit we are now moving Section News to the SNAMeNewsLetter! Because of the quarterly publication of Marine Technology and SNAME News, Section News would often be delivered to you in a less than timely fashion. Now we can place it in the eNewsLetter as soon as we receive it from the Sections (OK there might be a week’s time lapse) since the eNewsLetter is now twice monthly! In order to give members time to adjust, we will be putting all Section News for April in both the upcoming eNewsLetter and in Marine Technology. From then on it will conveniently arrive on your desktop for you to read at your leisure. Best of all, it will be archived on OUR website* and not YOUR bookshelves. * All technical papers are also available online and archived there as well. Simply visit the home page and click on "journals online" to see all your subscriptions electronically.
