The CMS Forum
is a program of the non-profit organization, Chemical Strategies
Partnership. It is a coalition of CMS providers, their customers,
Tier II chemical suppliers, and other stakeholders interested in
promoting chemical management services. The primary goals of the
CMS forum are to:
- Increase the market demand for chemical management services
- Document and promote the economic and environmental benefits
of CMS
- Standardize CMS definitions to foster market development
- Provide a forum for CMS providers, their Tier II suppliers,
and customers to access information and research, as well as
provide networking opportunities

CMS Seminars
Members receive one "CMS Seminar" per year. CSP/CMS
Forum staff will conduct a presentation or half day training on
the basic CMS concept, benefits, and ways your company can get
started. These seminars are ideal for in-house trainings or for
a small group of customers. Similar to CSP's popular workshops,
but tailored to company needs, the seminars will help participants
understand the economic and environmental benefits of implementing
a comprehensive CMS program.
CMS industry
market data
All members receive a copy of the CMS Industry Report 2004,

and performance. Find out more...
Workshops
Members are invited to attend any of CSP's workshops in strategic
locations throughout the world. As part of its educational activities,
CSP conducts a workshop featuring customers/supplier teams discussing
their CMS programs. The audiences are primarily customers interested
in learning about CMS.
Opportunity
to interact with colleagues in the CMS industry and potential
customers
The Forum offers several ways to network with peers and other
innovative managers. We can help connect member company representatives
to peers at other firms, relevant trade and professional associations,
non-governmental organizations and public agencies, all of whom
can be resources in addressing CMS-related issues. In the past,
CSP has held workshops that bring together potential customers
and CMS providers. If the Forum chooses to continue these workshops,
they are an excellent opportunity to interact with potential customers.
Access
to information about CMS trends and new developments
Members receive mailings and updates that include events, information,
and publications related to CMS. In addition, members have the
opportunity to learn about new research in the CMS field, recent
case studies of CMS programs, and related business trends from
the non-profit and educational members.
Voting rights on annual priority activities and general policy
decisions
Members have voting privileges on annual priority activities and
policy issues. Final decision-making is made by the Executive
Committee. All members may participate on committees.
