The Stuart
Cameron
McLeod Society (SCMS) was
founded in 1934 to recognize
those who served IMA and to
provide an opportunity for continued friendship, fellowship,
and service. Today, SCMS, also
known as the Society for Continuing Member Service, continues those traditions and
meets the challenges of tomorrow by funding student scholarships, supporting the Annual
IMA Student Conference, and
offering educational and social
events for its members.
