Do You Have a Paper/Research
You Would Like to Present?

One of SNAME’s many benefits is providing the opportunity to present the results of your research. One approach is to contact your local Section Meetings Chair to inquire about the opportunity to make a presentation to your local Section, or any other Section, should you be willing to travel. The local Section list of Officers and their contact information can be found online on the SNAME website at www.sname.org/sections.htm. Just click on the link for your desired Section and a new page will open with the contact information for your reference and use.

If you have no interest in presenting, but know of another member who might, then please advise him/her of this opportunity. Or, if you would like to voice your preference for topics, then please contact your local Section Chair or the local Section Meetings Chair with your ideas.
