Attention
SNAME Student Members!
NEW!
Poster Session at SMTC&E/SPS
in Fort Lauderdale, FL
The
Student Steering Committee has added a new feature for all students
attending the SMTC
(Annual Meeting), called the POSTER SESSION.
The goal of the poster session is to allow any student,
graduate or undergraduate, to make a poster regarding
his/her research, thesis, ship design project...etc. and allow
other individuals to comment on his/her studies, ask questions,
and get the project out there. The poster session is scheduled
to run on Friday, October 13 (Yes, Friday the 13th!) as part
of the Student
Program. The only requirement is to have a 4 foot by 5 foot
poster describing your work (pictures are optional and fun).
We
want to generate as many posters as possible!
If
you are going to participate in the poster session, please contact
Carrie Gonsoulin, Student
Steering Committee (SSC) Secretary/Treasurer. Carrie needs your
name and poster title by September 22 at 5:00 PM. |

Are You Looking for Professional Liability Insurance?
|
A number of members of SNAME have inquired
about Professional Liability Insurance as a membership benefit.
We would very much like to offer this, but – until now
– have had no success in identifying an agency or underwriter
that provides such coverage in our members’ lines of business.
We
now have a promising lead, and we need the help of a number
of interested members to respond to this agency, which has asked
a few questions regarding members’ financial matters to
help them begin to define what coverage they could offer and
at what price. We will keep your identity confidential.
If
you can help, please respond by email to the Membership Manager
so that we can share those questions with you: nostin@sname.org.
We – and other members – would be very grateful.

Member Benefit Update
SNAME Members’ Insurance Program
Featured Product: Group Term Life Insurance – For
Society Members & Their Families
When
Was The Last Time You Reviewed Your Insurance Needs?
Life Insurance is not something you buy once and forget about.
Your life insurance needs change throughout your lifetime. Major
life events such as getting married, buying a home, starting
a family and planning for retirement are a good time to reassess
your insurance needs.
The
Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers is proud
to offer our members and their spouses, under age 70, the opportunity
to apply for up to $660,000 of Group Term Life Insurance.
You
can’t predict the future, but you can plan for it.
Nothing
can replace the loss of a loved one, but carefully chosen life
insurance coverage can help ease the financial strain and provide
the funds your spouse and dependents need for a secure, comfortable
future.
Plan
ahead.
To access an Application Form and to receive additional information
on our Group Term Life Insurance plan, including plan features,
costs, eligibility, renew ability, limitations and exclusions,
