The Tire Society and Rubber Division, ACS Announce Administrative Services Agreement for 2009
|
Akron, Ohio, USA - February 20, 2009 - The Tire Society and
the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society have entered into an
agreement for 2009 in which the administrative functions of The Tire Society
will be evaluated for possible future support by the Rubber Division
administrative staff. Other potential
collaborations will also be considered.
This action recognizes the need for such business
partnerships to create synergy from sharing resources and expertise, a theme
particularly relevant in the current global economic climate. It also offers a significant opportunity to
increase value to both organizations and their members through the Rubber
Division's professional administrative staff, mutual resources and similar
technical interests.
During 2009, the Rubber
Division staff will work with The Tire Society Office Manager and necessary
representatives in both a job-shadowing and consulting capacity to gain
knowledge of Tire Society operations.
This includes assisting with The Tire Society Annual Conference at the
Akron City Centre Hotel in Akron, Ohio, USA on September 15-16, 2009. Following The Tire Society's 2009 Annual
Conference, both organizations will assess the mutual benefits of this
partnership and the feasibility of a long-term agreement. Other than administrative functions and
potential joint technical programs, each organization will remain separate in
their operational, financial and legal responsibilities.
The Tire Society, Inc. is an Ohio not-for-profit corporation
with worldwide membership whose charter is to increase and disseminate
knowledge as it pertains to the science, and technology of tires. It hosts a two-day Meeting and Conference in
Akron, Ohio every year that includes the presentation of twenty to thirty
original papers as well as a plenary lecture by a leader in Tire Mechanics. In addition, it edits and distributes a
critically reviewed, authoritative journal, Tire
Science and Technology on a quarterly basis.
The
Rubber Division, ACS, is a non-profit professional society dedicated to
enhancing science, technology and business across the evolving elastomeric
community. The
Rubber Division seeks to expand the elastomeric profession and individual
development through educational, technical and interactive activities. Similar to the Tire Society, the Rubber
Division publishes the Rubber Chemistry
and Technology journal, a peer reviewed, world-renown resource for the
rubber and related industries.
