May 15, 2009
Dear SCIP members and CI professionals,
The Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals would like to officially announce the results of a member vote conducted on the issue of SCIP merging with the Frost & Sullivan Institute. The vote by eligible members was conducted over the past week and the results are in; the vote was 692 in favor of the merger and 43 opposed.
The result of the vote was a resounding affirmation that the members want a stronger organization with a global reach as a result of the merger. The response to the vote was the largest turnout of voters on an issue in the organization's recent history. Thank you for your participation.
Many of you have already accessed the frequently asked questions on our website, but for those who have not, we'd like to tell you what the merger means for our members and event participants.
1) How will SCIP operate after the merger?
SCIP will remain an autonomous member-driven Society. The Frost & Sullivan Institute will have two of the potential 13 seats on the Board of Directors. The balance of the board will continue to be elected by the SCIP membership.
2) How will the association be governed?
The current SCIP bylaws will remain in place and be the governing documents for the society.
3) Will SCIP still be called SCIP?
SCIP’s name and brand will continue to be used after the merger and SCIP’s code of ethics will remain in place.
4) Is SCIP merging with a for-profit company?
No. SCIP is merging with another non-profit entity -- the Frost & Sullivan Institute – and will remain a non-profit association.
5) Does the merger affect the way SCIP handles local chapters?
No. Local chapters will continue to provide SCIP members and prospective members the chance to meet face to face on a regular basis.
