I recently helped organize the Advances in Chemical Sciences Symposium which was co-sponsored by ACS, RSC and IUPAC. It was a huge success! |

MARM 2005 was one of the best Regional Meetings ever and one of the strongest chemistry meetings of any kind in 2005. Over 2000 people attended MARM 2005!! Thanks to everyone who helped make ACS history! MARM 2005 photos |
| Thank-you to the members of the ACS National Committee on Committee (ConC) for electing me as their Chair for 2009. Thank-you! I will work to repay you trust and support. I renew my commitment to our society, our members and chemistry. |
| The ACS should be pro-active in developing an understanding of chemistry in the wider community while remaining responsive to the needs and interests of its members. |
