Science Media Centre of Canada

The SMCC is pleased to announce since its inaugural launch event in October 2009, it has now gathered the support of 75 charter members, made up of institutions and individuals. These charter members have made a one-time contribution of $5,000 to help the SMCC. The benefits of charter membership include:

• Name and logo prominently displayed on the Centre’s website;
• Recognition in SMCC public presentations;
• Advance notice of SMCC events, such as workshops;
• Invitations to special functions, such as receptions with other charter members or with SMCC champions.

In recognition of and appreciation for this belief in the SMCC vision, they are charter members in perpetuity with their names prominently displayed on the Centre’s website. Recently, the Centre was federally incorporated and every charter member is entitled to a vote at any meeting of members of the corporation.

The deadline for charter membership is July 1, 2010. Beginning in 2010, ordinary membership will be $5,000 renewable annually. Institutions and individuals can also be financial supporters without formally becoming members.
