2014 Kick Off Meeting

2014 SOCAP Great Lakes Chapter Annual Kick Off Meeting at the Detroit Athletic Club (DAC)

This year's annual Kick Off meeting was a great event with an outstanding presentation from Kim McMiller (SOCAP 2014 Chair and Associate Director, Consumer Affairs, Kraft Foods Inc.) and a beautiful speech by Esther Shapiro.

Kim's presentation gave the members wonderful insight into Kraft Foods Social Media strategy and their new Social Media Intelligence Center (which they will be announcing more information about soon). She also reviewed the purpose of SOCAP and the benefits of being involved with the organization.






During the annual Esther Shapiro Award Ceremony (this year's recipient was Rosemary O'Malley from Ford Motor Company), Esther gave a beautiful (and funny) speech about her history in Consumer Affairs and the beginnings of SOCAP.

And finally, throughout the meeting, Kim Sokol (President of the local Chapter), provided information about upcoming events, the 2014 Board and the chapter's financial status (via our Treasurer, Mary Ann Adams).

Once the meeting has concluded, the members departed for the Detroit North American International Auto Show (#NAIAS).
