Well, the SubCommittee President, Bob Martin (that'd be me) and VP (that'd be the ever-so-handsome "Sub" Ed Tordahl) along with help from the incomparable Steven O'Connell, exhibited at the IMPS 2023 national conference in San Marcos, Texas this last week.
The SubCommittee had a booth there for the first time that I know of, and we did our best to promote the organization and enlist new members. Attendance was superb, though apparently not to past event levels (still pretty awesome, by my reckoning). We had RC submarines on display, hard copies of the SCR, quick-link cards for takeaways and more. It was long days (8 hours solid) for four days straight.
The organization did sponsor awards in the submarine categories as well, though we were forced to head home prior to the announcements yesterday. While the SC did front expenses for the booth and award sponsorship, attendance costs were all fielded by your three volunteers, and while they were considerable, I like to think they were worthwhile.
