COVID-19 UPDATE:

The Executive Board met on April 25th and due to this uncertain time we are a proposal was presented to move the 2020 seminars. The proposal was based on feedback from the survey sent out along with financial and logistical implications. After consideration the board voted to make the following changes to our 2020 seminars. Our new schedule of seminars is as follows.

Move 2020 Annual in San Francisco to 7/18-20/2021
Move 2021 Annual in San Antonio to 7/16-22/2022
Move 2020 Atlantic Sectional seminar in Charlotte to March 27, 28, 2021
Cancel 2020 Gulf Inland Sectional Seminar in Chicago for 10/24-25/2020

Larry Russell along with your MCQB representatives will work with the MCQB to determine how this will impact those chemists seeking re-qualification along with the associated medical requirements. More information on this will follow.

For those chemists who have already paid for a seminar it can be either be applied to a future seminar or if you send me (Don Raffo) an email I will refund your money.
