STEM Awards Nominations

SIM STEM Awards postponed into 2021

Just like each of you, SIM continues to adjust to the changing circumstances that face us each day. The Outreach Committee realizes that while your chapters continue supporting your local non profits, it can be a challenge. Given that most of our members are focused on resuming business operations, we have decided to forgo the SIM STEM Awards for 2020.

New dates and details will be announced prior to our Giveback Campaign in November. This will provide the chapters an opportunity to engage members in volunteer and support activities plus capture those "above and beyond" efforts that epitomize SIM's Outreach efforts.

Stay tuned for further details.
