SNAME Member Value Survey - Winners!

Thank you very much to all members who filled in the recently closed SNAME web-based Member Value Survey. We had over 2,034 respondents (over a 30% response rate!), which greatly surpassed our expectations. This tells us that many members have opinions they want to share. We will consider these opinions very seriously over the next month as we analyze the data and over the next several months as we build action plans to implement changes. SNAME membership will be informed via the SNAMeNewsLetter and Marine Technology of results as they are available. Congratulations to the following individuals who have won a year's worth of free membership:

Raghavan Unnikrishnan, International Section (United Arab Emirates)

John Canada, Southeast Section

Richard Rymland, Chesapeake Section

Also congratulations are in order for the Southwest Section for having the highest percent of respondents (42.5%). They will receive a $250 check for their use at a section event.

SNAME Maritime Technology EXPO
Innovation Sessions

Building on the success of last year’s new Innovation Sessions, SNAME is pleased to announce the return of this exciting program in 2006. In response to positive feedback from exhibitors and attendees alike, the SNAME Maritime Technology Expo, scheduled for October 12-13, 2006 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, will once again feature presentations on new products and technologies in a special lecture-style area of the Expo Hall.

Details:

• 20-minute segments, with 10 minutes for Q&A, for a total of 30 minutes maximum per session.
• 16 Time slots available:

Thursday, October 12	- 10:00 am - 10:30 am - 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Friday, October 13	- 9:00 am - 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm

 

• Although these presentations will not be formally reviewed, SNAME must reserve the right to refuse any that do not seem appropriate, and will rely on the exhibitor’s and presenter’s own standards of professional behavior to make close supervision unnecessary.
• Brief abstracts must be submitted to SNAME HQ to enowak@sname.org.
• As there a limited number of slots available, they will be on a first come, first served basis. You will receive a confirmation after your abstract has been received. Two additional presentations will be selected as standbys.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this exciting opportunity for exhibitors to inform and educate maritime professionals attending the SMTC&E and SPS about new products and technologies.

Regards,
