Volunteer
The Division made tremendous progress for the Division Strategic Planning, supported by an ACS Innovative Project Grant. A survey was conducted in early 2020 and collected valuable inputs from the members to direct the process. In March 2021, the Division conducted a virtual Strategic Planning Retreat with facilitators from ACS. During this three day retreat, we refined the Division vision and mission.
To execute the strategic plans and broaden the impact of our division, we need your support! We are in search for volunteers for several new division committees. Students and postdocs are welcome!
