Conditions of Membership​
​To be considered an active member in SCMS, students must:

• Sign up and continuously receive our weekly email newsletter - you can sign up using the box below; unsubscribing from the newsletter is considered termination of membership
• Attend the first meeting at the beginning of the semester - this is almost always a general body meeting where important logistics are discussed for the semester
• Attend at least 60% of meetings each semester - this is usually 5-6 meetings; members are asked to sign in at each meeting

There is also an optional SCMS GroupMe, which you can join by clicking the link in the bottom of any email newsletter or on our website homepage, however we strongly recommend all members join.
We understand there are circumstances which may prevent one from attending a meeting. Please email us (umdscmsboard@gmail.com) if you cannot attend a meeting.

Serve on the SCMS E-Board

The SCMS executive board is refreshed at the end of each spring semester for a full year term beginning in the fall (newly selected SCMS officers officially assume their position the day after the last day of classes.) All positions are up for selection; current executive board members must reapply and interview in order to serve on the board for the following academic year. Applications are sent out usually in the middle of the spring semester, with interviews scheduled shortly after for select candidates. Final decisions are typically released in early May.

To apply for the SCMS executive board, you must:

• Have officially declared Supply Chain Management as a major (SCM as a second/double major is permissible and encouraged!)
• Be an active SCMS member in good standing per the membership standards outlined above - as a reminder, membership status can be obtained by emailing umdscmsboard@gmail.com
• Complete an application (emailed through our newsletter in the spring semester) and send the application and your resume to the email address provided in the position announcement

​Good luck!
