This past year included some of the largest membership numbers and the most well attended events in Chicago Chapter history. Even with this amazing track record, the SMPS board is always open to considering new ideas from members. On the horizon are four large scale events for 2015-2016 including events for the Fall, Holidays, the Summer and Annual event.
Those SMPS members who have contributed above and beyond expectations were recognized for putting their Best Foot Forward. The Grand Prize Best Foot Foward winner for 2014-2015 is Megan FitzPatrick, CPSM for all of her efforts on the communications committee and her valuable assistance for programming events. The Chicago Chapter wouldn't be where it is today without valuable voluteers like Megan. Please join us in congratulating her. Bob Elmore Photography was also recognized for contributions to our Photo Galleries by capturing all of our programming and events throughout the year so vividly.
