IMPORTANT
NOTICE FOR CHAPTER MEMBERS
on dues payments and email contact point
For all who are now receiving chapter announcements for upcoming events, please make sure that you are up-to-date on dues. Chapter members who are members of the international society pay annual dues of $25. For others who wish to be notified of upcoming events, the annual fee is $35. Invoices for 2007 dues have just been mailed. Please pay promptly -- the membership list is purged periodically to eliminate those whose payments are not up-to-date.
If did not receive a dues statement and have not paid 2007 dues or fees but you wish to be a Chicago Chapter member and receive announcements, please contact the Membership Chairman.
If you are not receiving the email announcements but you are current on dues, please send your current email address to the Membership Chairman. Please note that most chapter material is now distributed via email.
New Host for Chapter Website
Almost since the
beginning of the Chicago Chapter website, we had been fortunate in
obtaining no-cost hosting through the North Suburban Library System and
NorthStarNet. This has come to an end, as NorthStarNet is
discontinuing this service for not-for-profits and other organizations
in the Chicago area. We were very fortunate in obtaining a new
host at no cost to the chapter, thanks to Schirmer Engineering and our
new host, QBS4. The new hosting took effect on May 29, 2007, with
no change to our URL.
Chicago Chapter logo shirts available
Chapter members can now purchase a blue polo shirt with the SFPE logo in full color and the wording "Chicago Chapter" for $20. The men's style in sizes L to 3X is illustrated. A women's style in sizes M to XL is also available. Contact chapter member Dennis Banschbach at dennis_banschbach@swissre.com or see them at a chapter meeting.
