SVC Committees: Focus and Membership

Contact Committees Chairs if you are interested in contributing to the work of these Committees.

Executive Committee
The SVC Executive Committee comprises the elected officers, the past president, and other board members as deemed appropriate by the President of the Society. The committee exists to address specific financial issues and decisions that are put before the SVC as well as to provide specific direction and action interim to board meetings. The executive committee exists to supplement the activities of the Board of Directors and, as with all activities with the SVC, is accountable to the Board. The Executive Committee and Board of Directors oversee the operation and strategic direction of the SVC in-line with our mission statement.

SVC Mission Statement

The mission of the SVC is to promote technical excellence by providing a global forum to inform, educate, and engage the members, the technical community, and the public on all aspects of vacuum coating, surface engineering and related technologies.

SVC Vision Statement

The vision for SVC is to be the global source for learning, applying and advancing vacuum coating, surface engineering, and related technologies.

Future Sites Committee
The factors considered by the Future Sites Committee in choosing a conference site are many and diverse. The job is by nature almost impossible—meet a budget, specifications, dates, and make up to 1000 people happy with the choice. Because making all the people happy all of the time is an impossible task, the Future Sites Committee tries to make different people happy some of the time. The Committee knows what works and what doesn’t work. It continually searches for places that will not only meet SVC’s written specifications but that also will create a setting that will allow the “essence of SVC” to flourish.

Investment Committee
The Investment Committee of the SVC was formed by the Board of Directors to develop investment policies and procedures and take actions to safeguard and oversee the SVC's investments. The Investment Committee is responsible for recommending a professional Investment Manager to the SVC Board of Directors. The Investment Committee recommends investment allocation guidelines annually to the Board and works with the outside Investment Manager. The Committee also tracks the performance of the Investment Manager relative to others in that field. It is important to note that the Investment Committee does not actively manage SVC's investments; it oversees the professional financial firm that manages SVC's assets.

Young Members Committee
The SVC Young Members Group is open to young people (up to the age of 30) with an interest in vacuum coating and related technologies. Members of the group may be students or young staff in industry; the common feature is that they should meet the age requirement and have a keen interest in any topics which sit under the umbrella of the SVC. We intend to offer members of this new group special conference rates and other benefits, in exchange for their input and ideas regarding the growth and development of the Society as it relates to the younger generation. We envision that the Young Members Group will establish, from its membership, a Committee and a Chair. The Chair will be invited to attend the SVC Board meetings and participate in developing future strategies for the Society, thereby giving the Young Members a voice at the highest levels within the Society.  If you have questions regarding the Young Members Group, please contact the Chair or a Board Mentor.

Technical Advisory Committees

WebTech Roll to Roll Coatings for High-End Applications TAC
This TAC covers all aspects of established and emerging web technologies. The committee is loosely divided in the area of applications into two sub-groups: one focused on flexible displays and the other on packaging/industrial issues. These two types of applications frequently share common ground in the drive toward higher barrier requirements in both fields. The Committee is multinational, with great participation from Europe. This Committee is now particularly focused to encourage more involvement from members in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Tribological and Decorative Coating TAC
The Tribological & Decorative Coating TAC promotes the dissemination of information on the latest advances in tribological, wear-resistant, and decorative coatings.  Tribological coatings play critical roles in increasing the durability and improving the performance of tools and components by reducing wear and decreasing friction.  New decorative coatings can play an essential role in enhancing the appearance of components.  Often manufacturers take advantage of both improved durability and enhanced appearance provided by vacuum-deposited films in order to differentiate their products in the marketplace.

Large Area Coating TAC
The Large Area Coating TAC focuses in two areas. The first area is to provide informative, leading-edge presentations (oral or poster) for the annual SVC Technical Conference. The second focus is to serve as a source of advice in our areas of expertise to the community of SVC members. As the name suggests, the Large Area Coating TAC specializes in subject matter having to do with coatings, processes, materials, equipment, products, and technology involving coating large substrates (currently up to 3.21 x 6 meters in area) typically using in-line (air-to-air) physical and chemical vapor deposition systems.
