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:
- Establish CMS as a best practice approach for chemical management and increase overall market interest;
- Increase customer adoption of CMS by providing a diversity of educational events and materials that help them estimate the true costs and value of improving chemical management; and
- Continue to promote the CMS industry by expanding the membership base and reach of the CMS Forum.
