Dedicated to ACS and Chemistry
Working for a Better ACS - for Everyone
This page and indeed the whole site lists some of Les McQuire's ACS activities and
shows how committed Les is to science, North Jersey, the National ACS and our
members (and future members). Les certainly enjoys the friendships he has made
through ACS and is pleased that his hobby is so synergistic with his professional
activities.
He has a particular set of experiences that make him particularly suited to
representing North Jersey as a councilor and serving on ConC. Les hopes to be
able to continue to serve North Jersey but in any election he encourages everyone
to consider all the candidates before voting.
Les has demonstrated and enhanced his skills serving the ACS and its members by
organizing technical meetings, participating in training courses for members and by
serving on numerous committees.
