About Us:
Our Mission and Vision:
We are dynamic and visionary, committed to “Improving people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry.”
This vision ─ developed and adopted by the ACS Board of Directors after broad consultation with the membership ─ fully complements the ACS Mission statement, which is “to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people.” Together, these two statements represent our ultimate reason for being and provide a strategic framework for our efforts.
What We Do:
We play a leadership role in educating and communicating with the general public about the importance of chemistry in our lives. This includes putting on live Chemistry demonstrations for local youth in our community to promote awareness in not only Chemistry but S.T.E.M. fields as a whole.
