The Chair’s message for...
Fall 2010














Dear CT-SCC Members,
Wow, its 2011!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!   

I would like to begin by quickly introducing myself.  After graduating
college, my big plan was to work for one year and then return to school
for forensic  science.  After working in the cosmetic/personal care industry
for a year and seeing the first launch of one of my formulations , I fell in
love with product development .  Now, 12 years later, I am still busy
making formulas!!!   I have been involved with the CT-SCC for a few years
and enjoyed my time as 2010 Chair Elect.  I had hoped to be able to
attend the last meeting of 2010 for the new chapter installments, but my
son Sean decided to be born on that very day!!   

I would like to extend a big thank you to our 2010 Chapter Chair, John
Mahon.  It was a very successful year for the CT-SCC thanks to John’s
enthusiasm and dedication, and I hope to have as successful a year in
2011.  I would also like to thank Liz Archibald for 4 years of dedicated
service as CT-SCC Treasurer.  Her day-to-day involvement in chapter
activities will be missed.  Another thank you to Tiffany Fielder who was
our Newsletter Editor in 2010…the first year our newsletter went
electronic!   

I would to congratulate Chris Strack from Sonneborn for being elected
Chair Elect.  In the past two years, Chris has successfully run two golf
outings for the CT-SCC and our 3rd annual golf outing this April is sure to
be even bigger and better!  I would also like to congratulate Judy Quinby
from Univar USA for being elected Treasurer.  Judy has been our
photographer for the past few years and I appreciate her willingness to
get even more involved as treasurer.  In addition, I would also like to
welcome Jeneen Rescsanski from Zotos who will be our 2011 Newsletter
Editor and Elzbieta Smas from Unilever who will be our 2011
Photographer.  

I would also like to welcome back our returning board members,
including:  Luisa Taddeo, Secretary; Cynthia Valovich, Reservations;
Melody Edmunds, Arrangements; Dan O’Neill, Website design; Michael
Hershey, Hospitality and Advertising.

2010 was definitely a great year for the CT-SCC and there are lots of
great plans in the works for 2011.  Our next meeting will be on January
18th at the Unilever Conference Room and I am excited to announce Perry
Romanowski as our speaker.  Perry has been very involved in the
cosmetic industry and the SCC for many years and brings a lot of
experience and enthusiasm to his presentations.  His topic is “Cosmetic
Chemistry 2.0: How the Internet Can Make You a Better Formulator”.  In
addition, we will be having 12 vendor tables prior to the presentation to
give these vendors an opportunity to share information about their
products and services.     

I want to make sure that our Connecticut chapter events are interesting
and beneficial to our members.  Feedback is much appreciated, so I
welcome you to email me any questions or suggestions to
amykalleberg@gmail.com    

As we enter into the New Year, I wish you all health, happiness and
prosperity.  I look forward to seeing you at our 2011 events.  

~Amy Kalleberg, Connecticut Chapter Chair
