On behalf of SCASM and the fund-raising committee we could like to extend a very big thank you to all of the vendors that have helped not only support our annual meeting but the Spring Symposia and workshops throughout the years. Without the vendor support SCASM would not be able to provide the high quality educational meetings that we do every year. 

SCASM would like to extend a special acknowledgement to our Platinum sponsor for multiple years, bioMeriuex Inc. As part of the Platinum sponsorship bioMerieux Inc. provides travel grants to two of our academic poster winners. Students are awarded with grants that allow them to attend the national ASM meeting to present their scientific research. These are grants awarded every year to students to show the commitment to the student community that SCASM and companies like bioMerieux have toward microbiology education.

Platinum – bioMerieux Inc.
 
Gold –     AdvanDx
