We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication, which continue to be the foundation of our success. Your commitment has been the cornerstone of our resilience, allowing us to adapt and grow as a community. Through your engagement, we have fostered a strong network of professionals, shared valuable industry insights, and created opportunities for collaboration and innovation. We look forward to another fantastic year of learning, networking, and growth. We begin the year with a Virtual Lunch & Learn on January 30, 2025, featuring Scott Cardinali, Sun Care Business Manager for Hallstar Beauty. His presentation will explore the importance of sunscreen, the evolving regulatory landscape, and advancements in SPF enhancement technologies. Then, we’re thrilled to invite you to our in-person NESCC Chapter Meeting at the Cowesett Inn in West Warwick, RI, featuring the dynamic Marjorie Linares from Arxada. Marjorie will be sharing her expertise on Preservatives and Market Trends in 2025 - a presentation you won’t want to miss! As summer winds down, we will gather again on September 25, 2025, for an in-person meeting at the Helen of Troy offices in Marlborough, MA. This session will focus on the latest advancements in hair care and provide an excellent opportunity for professional discussions and networking. On October 6, 2025, we are thrilled to host our 10th Annual NESCC Golf Outing at Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, MA. This event is not only a wonderful opportunity to network but also a chance to enjoy a fun and relaxing day with fellow members and industry colleagues. The golf outing has always been a highlight of our annual calendar, and we look forward to seeing you there. At this time, we are still looking for sponsors for this outing, and any support would greatly help keep our chapter thriving. To conclude the year, we will come together on November 20, 2025, for the Installation of Officers. The location is yet to be determined, but it will serve as a special occasion to celebrate our leadership transition and reflect on a successful year. As we move forward, we are honored to introduce the 2025 NESCC Board. Their dedication will continue to guide NESCC towards excellence.
