Chapter Cup Award - A message from Meg Couglin regarding
an award to the East Michigan
Chappter received during the 2009 Annual Conference and Exhibition:
Our Chapter received the First Place Chapter Cup Award for 2009
honoring the top performing chapter in the Association for outstanding
achievement serving the mission and the membership of the
A&WMA. I would like to thank each and every Board Member, Local
Host Committee Member and Chapter Leadership for your contributions to
the Chapter and Local Host Committee which together gave the East
Michigan Chapter the points necessary to win this award. In
particular, I would like to thank Michele Buckler for filling out and
submitting the application for the award.
According to the
application the winner was to be recognized during the
Honors and Awards Ceremony at the Annual Conference &
Exhibition. The announcement was actually made at the
Sections and Chapters Council meeting in lieu of the Honors and Awards
Ceremony. I believe this change was to shorten the length of the
program in order to complete the luncheon program in time for the 2:00
PM session immediately following the Honors & Awards luncheon.
In addition, the
announcement that we won the award is to be published
in the EM magazine and we are to receive a $200 voucher for the
Association's on-line library.
Congratulations!

Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is pleased to present greenUp

"Green Chemistry" is recognized as the cornerstone of Executive
Directive 2006-6, issued by
Governor Jennifer M Granholm, and calls for the use of safer, less
toxic, or non-toxic
chemical alternatives.
You are invited to be a forerunner in this venture and share the floor
with key stakeholders who are committed to moving green chemistry
forward. In doing so, you

environment, and
overall health Can

Sponsor opportunities are available for both the Green Chemistry Awards
Program and the Green Chemistry Conference, being held in Detroit this

Michigan.
We encourage you to join in the forward momentum of green chemistry in
Michigan. Attached is a document giving
additional information about greenUp and outlining donor levels and
