COMMITTEE CHAIRS
EXECUTIVE BOARD
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello Everyone,
We have just returned from the Spring Board Meeting in Norfolk, Virginia. First, let me saythe hotel and town are great! Our hosts, Mary Hayward and Tammy Subotich are doing afabulous job with this year’s conference. I think everyone will be really pleased with not only thephysical arrangements, but the program as well. Co-chairs Victoria Sample and RichardMolinelli and the Program Committee have a really good line up of speakers. In this issue is thetentative schedule for the program. As I mentioned in the previous Newsline issue, we arechanging things up a bit this year, so make sure you take a look at the new days and times for theTradeshow. Make your plans right now to attend. Also in this issue is some proposed changes tothe By-Laws and Constitution. Please make sure you look them over. We will be voting on thosechanges in Norfolk and you will really be missing out if you don’t attend this year.
I would like to thank our VP, Ed Graham, for all of the work he has done to organize thecommittees. I am happy to report that most of the committee chairs did submit at least a roughdraft of a “Handbook” for their position to the Board. Those who didn’t have time—don’tworry—Ed will ask again for yours at the summer board meeting. Our secretary, Karen Smith,has agreed to be the point person and organize all of these reports in a somewhat similar formatfrom the information that was submitted. This information is vital to the continued success ofNAOSMM and I appreciate all of your work in this endeavor.
I can report that the electronic membership renewal was a success. We had about 310members renew and some renewals are still straggling in. You should go to the web site andmake sure you are listed in the Membership Directory. If you aren’t there, then contact VirginiaSari to confirm your status. I want to give thanks to Jerry Patterson and the MembershipCommittee and our hard working Treasurer, Virginia Sari. Mary Ann Stoll has agreed to jointhe Membership Committee and head up a Corporate Membership Drive. All of the corporatemembers should be contacted soon about renewal. Joanne Brown is working on updating ourLifetime Membership. She will be contacting all of them to make sure they still want to receivethe Newsline and that the addresses we are sending it to are all correct.
Since the electronic renewal was such a success we have decided to send the ConferenceRegistration Packet in the same format instead of mailing them out this year. That meansbefore the 15th of April you will receive an email with the registration forms attached. You canprint out as many of the forms as you need, fill them out and mail or fax them to the treasurer.For those who would like them earlier or if you misplaced that email, they are now available onthe NAOSMM web site.
I want to remind you of a few deadlines. The deadline to register for the conference is June15. After that date, there is an additional $25.00 late fee. The cut off date to get the hoteldiscount is July 7th. Remember to book your rooms early so that you will be guaranteed a room!
I will close with the announcement that the board has decided that the 2012 conferencewill be in Albuquerque, New Mexico—more at the conference!
Carol Bowman, President, NAOSMM

Tom passed away in January of this year, leaving NAOSMM members saddened by his suddendeath. He was only 46 years old when the Lord took him away.
Tom was born in Texas City, Texas on August 16, 1963 to Thomas Blakeney II and Ann (Moore) Blakeney. He grew upin nearby Alvin, TX and was active in the Boy Scouts, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. He graduated from Alvin HighSchool in 1982, and attended Alvin Community College. He continued his studies at Texas A&M receiving a B.S. inEconomics in 1987.
From 1991 until his death, he worked at Rice University Chemistry Department as Storekeeper. He joined NAOSMMin 1994 and served on the Internet Committee and maintained the NAOSMM Listserv. Tom played the clarinet in theRice Marching Band, (the MOB), and basketball and baseball pep bands. He was an avid outdoorsman with fishing,hunting, camping, golfing, and astronomy as some of his favorite activities. While working at Rice, he also took fourSpace Science classes, three Geology classes and an Environmental Science class. He was also very active with manyactivities at Rice including the Chemistry Graduate Student Association.
Tom took over the NAOSMM Listserv in 1995 when John Elliot, also from Rice, passed away suddenly. One responsi-bility of maintaining the Listserv was that Tom filtered the messages to be sure that SPAM and unsolicited messagesdid not clutter our mail boxes. For his unselfish work, Tom was awarded a Service Award at the Boise Conference lastsummer.
In 1996 at the New Orleans Conference, it was decided that NAOSMM needed a Web site and Tom was selected by theBoard to be one of the founding members of the Web Site Committee, (now Internet Committee). During the originaldevelopment of the Web site, Tom was very helpful with many insightful suggestions.
Tom was a quiet person, never the center of attention. When you got to know him, you realized he had a unique senseof humor. Tom will be missed by members of NAOSMM along with his friends and family. Tom, rest in peace.

Linda Perez-Saldana, Past President
I am so excited to be sharing with the membership of NAOSMM the great city of Norfolk. While we on the board did not have theopportunity to get out much into the city while we were in Norfolk for our Spring Board meeting, we were able to visit a couple ofoutstanding local eateries within easy walking distance. In addition, I took a little time before getting on the plane to take a quickwalking tour near the hotel. First of all, we had dinner at two local establishments that were definitely worthy of writing to all ofyou about. Todd Jurich’s Bistro features one of the city’s finest chefs. Being so close to the ocean, the seafood was exceptional, asone would expect, but my favorite was the Lobster Ravioli appetizer. It was the best ravioli I have ever had. On Saturday, we wentto Freemason Abbey, which has a long history in the area. It was a church for 100 years before becoming a restaurant in the late80’s. The atmosphere was lovely and the food delicious. There were a broader choice of options than Todd Jurich’s and we wereconvinced to try the She-Crab soup, which our Norfolk hosts Mary Hayward and Tammy Subotich explained was a must whenvisiting Norfolk. We were not disappointed. The soup was rich and hearty. I am excited that the hotel will be including She-Crabsoup in our Thursday banquet.
Aside from these restaurants, there were dozens of local and chain restaurants within a block of the hotel. The on-site restaurantShula’s 347 was very good with a varied menu and helpful staff. And in the mornings, the hotel has a wonderful breakfastrestaurant with a full and continental breakfast buffet. Again, the staff was very helpful and pleasant. Also within a block or two ofthe hotel, there are numerous additional attractions. Towards the water, there is a building with numerous eateries and great viewsof the water. To the front of the hotel, one can easily get to a large mall featuring stores, food and a movie theatre. In the otherdirection is an excellent museum, Nauticus. It features several exhibits and boasts the Battleship Wisconsin whose formershipmates are current guides on board. I was unable to view the exhibits due to time, but I did spend some time in the extensivegift shop. And for those members who wish to take more time to go on day excursions, there are numerous other sites within anhour time of Norfolk including Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.
I am very excited to return to Norfolk in July. The city is very beautiful in winter and I am sure that once everything is green andwarm, it will be Eden. Even getting off the airplane, I was struck by the beauty of the surroundings. Apparently, there is a botanicalgarden adjacent to the airport....appealing to a Biologist, like me. I hope that we will have a record number of members visitingthis beautiful city. I am confident that you will all enjoy it.
THE NAOSMM EXECUTIVE BOARD OFFERS THEIR THOUGHTS ON NORFOLK, VAAFTER MEETING THERE FOR THE SPRING BOARD MEETING
Ed Graham, Vice President
Greetings fellow NAOSMM members! With the Spring board meeting behind me, I am anxiously looking forward to our annualconference in July. Norfolk is a lovely city full of history, and offers many different options for any visitor, from museums and thearts, to fine dining and lush botanical gardens.
Our hotel, the Norfolk Waterside Marriot, is a wonderful establishment. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the space isboth plentiful and easy to navigate. Many of the guest rooms offer spectacular views of the water, including the marina and thehuge Navy and cruise ships. For those looking to relax, the hotel has a very nice indoor pool area that is well-maintained andfeatures three whirlpools. The fitness center has been newly remodeled and is equipped with free weights and all the basicmachines such as treadmills and steppers, in addition there are safe running/walking trails along the water.
From Shula’s restaurant to my favorite place, a quaint little piano bar (both in the hotel), everything seems ready to welcome us toa great and productive 2010 NAOSMM conference. I eagerly look forward to heading back to Norfolk and seeing all of you in July!
(I could not have written this little report without thanking our 2010 hosts Mary Hayward and Tammy Subotich for all their helpand guidance in our Norfolk journey. Thanks ladies and we will be back soon!)

1. New Member Orientation Session — Scheduled for Sunday evening, before the other meetings begin. Please make travel plansto arrive in time to participate in this session. We will have information and answers to any questions about the activities of theconference. In this session we will introduce the NAOSMM officers and committee chairs as well as give new members anopportunity to get acquainted with each other. There will be drawings for wonderful prizes and a special goody bag for eachfirst-time attender. Last, but not least, instructions will be given for the NOTY game. What’s that? We’ll explain it all at the NewMember Orientation Session. You really don’t want to miss it.
2. Get-Acquainted Luncheon — All conference participants, and especially the first-time attenders, are invited to join together forlunch on Monday.

With the launch of the new safety pages and Safety Forum, NAOSMM membership has been given a new resource that will hopefullybecome even more useful in the coming year. Plans are underway to expand the training and resources pages, as well as give moreguidance on regulations and rules in the agency pages. We hope to see more participation in the Forum (of course, not at theexclusion of the listserv!) as well as in the committee itself. We would also like to focus on biological safety resources, as they are notcurrently published.
There are many ways that NAOSMM members can become involved in the Safety Committee. Some of these ways are:
• Give suggestions for topics you would like to see covered.• Suggest resources that you would like to see offered.• Submit resource material such as useful websites, PowerPoint presentations, documents, etc. that can be shared with
NAOSMM membership via the website.• Volunteer to become an Agency Liaison, alerting members about new rules and regulation from your agency.• Volunteer to be on one of the subcommittees.
Teresa Arnold, Chair
Travel Grant:
• The 2010 application form and information were updated and submitted to the website and Newsline.
• A reminder that application info was available and the deadline was sent out on the listserv.
• Jerry Patterson has recently provided us with a list of new members. Dave Ross is composing a letter to all new members to go
out shortly.

THE PULSE OF NAOSMMTiffany Clark, Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia
What are some of the benefits, expected or otherwise, of attending the annualNAOSMM conference?
Trade show: Being in a rural area in the West I do not see a lot of company reps. Going to theconference gives me a chance to meet reps from each company. I collect the business cards of thoseI talk to and put the year of the conference on the back. If I have a problem with that company I justcall the rep and mention that we talked at NAOSMM. Even if they are not my area rep they eithertake care of the problem or get me in touch with someone who can help. I like to see the newproducts and their application. Seminars: I always take away at least one fact that I did not knowbefore attending. The seminars help me keep up on changing regulations. Additionally, I get tomeet folks with the same problems that I have and brain storm solutions. Went through thecertification process and became certified. This looked good on my evaluation and showed mywillingness to learn.
Mary Ann Stoll, CSMM Laboratory Materials Supervisor, Idaho State University
I have found people with the experience to answer my questions about: safety, inventory,management and regulation. I have received product help from vendors for new items I’m in themarket for and items that I am having trouble with. I have found honesty from the vendors about thepros/cons of their products vs. others. I have encountered enthusiasm for products. I found things Ihad not thought about but solved problems I had yet to address. And I found people who I callfriends and call on with questions and successes to share and they are always glad to share with me.
Teresa Arnold, Biology-Chemistry Lab Coordinator, George Fox University
It is much faster to ask questions of the fellow members at conference rather than over the listserve.You have a captive audience that isn’t busy with the day to day aspects of their job. I find the tradeshow especially useful when I can talk to the vendors when I’m looking for an item that I can’tname, or a replacement part from a larger piece of equipment. It’s impossible to look those thingsup in a catalog, and when technical support is not helpful I even bring the piece that I’m trying toreplace to the trade show. I’ve also found less expensive alternatives to materials I was alreadypurchasing through other vendors, and better products through samples vendors provide. Thevendors that exhibit are very knowledgeable about their products, unlike the customer servicerepresentatives you usually get when you call. They are also open to suggestions about theirproducts as well.
Karen Smith, CSMM Chemistry Stockroom Manager, Whitman College
I expected the conference to provide an opportunity to network with Scientific Material Managerswho had faced similar issues and challenges in their jobs at their facilities. I was not disappointed.My department expands to purchasing, stockroom inventory management and control, shippingand receiving, delivery, glass wash, specialty gases and liquid nitrogen delivery and surplus. Inregard to these areas many offered suggestions for solutions and others offered condolences becausethere are some things you can’t fix. The workshops were presented by vendors that I deal witheveryday and the broad range of subject matter touched several areas of interest. I soon discoveredthat the discounts for NAOSMM members is much better than the institutional discount we werebeing provided by some of the attending vendors.
Pam Pettitt, Purchasing Coordinator, The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation
The Pulse of NAOSMMwas a featured columnin the Newsline back inthe mid to late 1990’s.It was intended as anoutlet for members toshare recent events orissues in their workplaceand also kept membersconnected by askingabout their daily lives.Typically, a series ofquestions would be sentout on the listserv, suchas “What’s the latest onthe job?” or “What’sgoing on at home?” or“How can otherNAOSMM membersassist you?” The editorsof the Newsline havedecided to revive thiscolumn and are pleasedto have Tiffany Clarkfrom Saint Joseph’sUniversity as thecolumnist for the newPulse of NAOSMM.

Are you more likely to patronize a company that exhibits at the conference? Is there anything vendors could do toenhance the likelihood that you would order supplies and equipment from them?
I do try to purchase items from vendors that exhibit…We do have a state contract but I have managed to save a lot of $$$s from tradeshow specials and the extra discounts that are given to members is also a help. I like to support the exhibitors as they support us byexhibiting at the conference.
Mary Ann Stoll, CSMM, Laboratory Materials Supervior, Idaho State University
I find that if a vendor is excited to discuss a product with me and help me ID what I need to fit a need, then I am likely to go to themto purchase it. If I get a quick response to my request for a quote and reasonable delivery times, then I will purchase from them. Astime goes by, I will look at pricing from other places and compare, so they need to stay up on the quote bidding process and theirsupport with technical questions. To be honest, I find that vendors who I have met and had conversations of detail with, will returnmy calls fast and do their honest best to get me the best deal.
Teresa Arnold, Biology-Chemistry Lab Coordinator, George Fox University
Primarily I have to consider the bottom line for the college when I order supplies. If two vendors have the same price however, Iwould choose one that exhibited over one that did not. More importantly however, I would purchase an item that has a longerlifetime even if the initial cost was higher. You learn which items are more durable at the vendor trade show.
Karen Smith, CSMM, Chemistry Stockroom Manager, Whitman College
I won a $250 gift certificate to purchase plastics from a small business vendor that we had not used before. This gimmick gave thevendor an opportunity to learn more about our facility, our needs, get their products on site and their name on our supplier list.I look forward to attending the Norfolk conference in 2010.
