Wilmington , Delaware July 2007

The Chemical Customer Service Management Group’s (CCSMG) annual conference was a “great success” according to CCSMG President Betty McCorkle. “With over one-hundred attendees from more than thirty companies represented from the chemical and allied services industry, the sharing and learning opportunities have been phenomenal.”

Host company DuPont’s Gregory Thompson set the tone for the conference at its opening reception with his reflection that the chemical industry will always face competitive challenges regarding costs and services but customer service is one area that deserves continued investment because of its key role in customer relationship excellence.

This year’s conference was held in Wilmington , Delaware at the historic DuPont Hotel. The agenda included three days of concurrent break-out sessions that focused on industry best practices, professional development and discussion forums on topics such as eBusiness, SAP, and Customer Relationship Management. Key note and motivational speakers provided focus on personal excellence. A vendor showcase provided insight into some of the services available for our industry/profession.

Eric Arneson, CCSMG vice president, offered that “DuPont did an outstanding job as our host company this year. Our vendors were key contributors, too, as well as our general membership. I look forward to building on the success of this year’s conference as CCSMG plans next year’s event.”
