Joining, Participating and Volunteering with the renowned Cleveland Coatings Society can have several benefits, including:
Networking At Meetings
Attending regular meetings allows you to discuss topics with peers and learn more about the industry, suppliers, and supporters. Learning opportunities like new technologies, legislation, and trends are often the subjects discussed and, at times, healthfully debated. You can meet peers, both experienced and novice, within the coatings industry from different coating application backgrounds, which can quickly increase your technical and business exposure.
Education and scholarships
Every social event or technical discussion you attend can increase your exposure to continued learning opportunities. Furthermore, annually the Cleveland Coatings Society awards thousands of supportive dollars in through our scholarship programs for college bound high school students. Only children of current Cleveland Coatrigns Society members are eligible for these scholastic awards.
Technical Seminars
Educational opportunities within the association are offered regularly, such as past seminars and classes that have covered manufacturing, technical, current trends, or business topics planned for our coatings industry, given by peers and experts from our industry.
Social activities
All our social gatherings allow you to meet and mingle with our many members, industry peers, and even their families. These gatherings, including our golf outings, dances, volunteer events in the community, and even game nights, all contribute to community support and mentoring opportunities for us and those around us.
Professional development
The more exposure you have in this industry, the more you learn, the more you network, and the more you improve your professional network, skills, and value in the coatings industry. This can help you earn more opportunities throughout your career now and into the future.
Community Service
Bring one, bring all. You, your work colleagues, your friends, and your family will all have the opportunity to participate in multiple Cleveland area community service projects. This is an excellent opportunity to spend quality mentoring and bonding time as a team, even within your company.
