| Supporting Our Members I have helped hundreds of unemployed members by
Finding a Home in Our Society I have been a co-originator of two national meeting events, SciMix and the Town Hall Meeting.
Reaching Out to the Community For more than fifteen years, I have chaired the North Jersey Section’s National Chemistry Week activities.
Learning About the Latest Breakthroughs Just a few weeks before a national meeting, I organized and chaired two special Presidential Symposia on late breaking area.
Increasing Member Involvement I have worked to increase the diversity on committees, in local section leadership, and on candidate slates. In recent years, many women and younger chemists have been given an opportunity to serve the Society and develop leadership skills. We need to better involve more young people and individuals from under-represented groups in the Society. I was a member of a team that developed the protocol for implementing electronic balloting. Coupled with two Comments in Chemical & Engineering that explained the candidate selection process, it is hoped that a greater percentage of the members will participate in elections in the future. Vote for Val! |
