Intent to Merge the SACP and SSP

Prior to voting, please reflect on the following forward-thinking considerations:

• Many of our current members are not Scientists, Spectroscopists, or Analytical Chemists
• Should the name be occupationally-specific, which could inhibit potential new member candidates from applying owing to implied academic training requirements?
• Our stated membership area encompasses 8 states (PA, WV, OH, NJ, NY, MD, DE, VA)
• Should the name be geographically-specific, which might lead potential member candidate, who live within our membership area, to assume that they are not eligible for membership?
• The name should succinctly represent what we want to project about the organization and our mission – now and in the future.
