Letter from the Chairman – Chicago Section STLE
Clayton Cooper
2023-2024 Chairman
Chicago Section STLE.
Welcome to the Chicago Section of STLE! Our society aims to connect and educate the minds within the industry of tribology which encompasses anything relating to friction, lubrication, and wear. Education is supremely important to advancing and expanding our industry, so we hold an education seminar as well as monthly technical presentations from professionals in all sorts of different tribological careers.
Another very important way to share knowledge is to get people together. Our monthly meetings, social outing, and golf event provide an opportunity to connect with your tribological peers. When it comes to expanding our industry, we are also very proud to support our next generation tribologists through scholarships and science fair prizes.
Thank you for your continued involvement or newfound interest in the Chicago Section of STLE! And a big thank you to the officers this year who help to keep the section going:
Mary Cuttill-Nielsen (Reladyne) – Vice-Chair
Nicole Clarkson (Barentz) – Secretary/Treasurer
