Since 1942, the Cleveland Technical Societies Council has faithfully represented more than 20 area professional societies and organizations that serve the scientific, technical, engineering and education professions in Northeast Ohio. The Council coordinates a scholarship program which annually provides $20,000 in scholarships to the brightest Northeast Ohio students – as chosen by their teachers – who plan to pursue science-based careers. The Council also sponsors a Collaboration – bringing together its various member organizations to share and pursue common interests; and a Speakers Sampler where Council members can preview area speakers who are available to speak on a variety topics of interest to the respective organizations.
