Every year at the Annual Conference, we celebrate members who have been with us for half a decade or more. (If you’re in the handcrafted cosmetic industry and you’re not a member, hello, why not?! Check out more about membership here.)
This year, at our 2013 conference in Raleigh, we sent a great, big cheer to the following members celebrating their 5 year anniversary with the guild:
Connie Dubois
Carmen O’Dell
Angelene Bonner
Maria Gelnett
Cindy Heinemann
Stephanie Dockter
Pamela Ernst
Donna Pixton-Hacker
Feleciai Favroth
Kimberly McCarty
Susan Jack
We also took a moment to recognize the members who have been with us 10 years. A decade ago, the HSCG was still the HSMG. We had less than half the membership we have today and the annual conference was held in a much smaller venue in Tucson (how do you like that trip in the wayback machine?). Congratulations to our 10-year veterans for seeing us through thick and thin, the addition of many benefits, and lots and lots of growth:
Julia Bundy
Kerri Mixon
Wanda Gillen
Are you a member yet?? HSCG membership is open to companies handcrafting soaps and cosmetics as well as private labelers and suppliers of the industry. Check out some of the benefits of being a member of the HSCG; we could be celebrating your anniversary a decade from now!
Psst…we’ve filled 57 slots for the 2014 conference, to be held at the Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson. Don’t be left in the cold; sign up now!
