SCC Chapters
The first Chapter of the Society was formed in 1948 and was known as the Chicago Chapter. In 1966 the Chicago Chapter name was changed to the Midwest Chapter. The second chapter followed in 1955. The Society now has a total of 19 chapters across the country and Canada. Chapters serve as the lifeblood of the Society and are run by dedicated volunteers who give of their time and expertise. Most Chapters conduct monthly meetings and hold educational seminars for members in their area. A few chapters have supplier exhibits and social events. Almost all 19 chapters publish their own newsletters. Membership numbers in Chapters vary from 35 members in our smallest chapter to 1400 in our largest chapter. No matter how large or small, all Chapters work for the goals of the Society which is the advancement of cosmetic science. Visit our SCC Chapter pages for more information.-
