The SCMS was formed in 1934 as the Spot Club. In 1957, the name was changed in recognition of Stuart Cameron McLeod, one of the founders of the Spot Club and Executive Secretary of IMA from 1919 until his death in 1944.
The Trophy awarded to the third place chapter in the Stevenson Division competition is sponsored by the SCMS. The Society also sponsors the "S. Alden Pendleton Award for Excellence in the Community Service Program of the IMA." In addition, the Society provides judges for the selection of the recipients of the Stuart Cameron and Margaret McLeod Scholarships.
SCMS is also known as the "Society for Continuing Membership Service." This describes your fellow chapter members who are active members of the STUART CAMERON McLEOD SOCIETY.
The purpose of the Club is to provide a means whereby former officers and directors of the Association may continue the associations and contacts which they formed while in office and to make available to the current management of the Association the advice and experience of past officers.
