Sol Levine is also a long-time member of the American Chemical Society. After taking early retirement from IBM, Sol moved to the Triangle area in the 1990’s, where he has worked in teaching positions at North Carolina Central University, Durham Technical Community College, and North Carolina State University.
Upon arriving in North Carolina, Sol immediately became involved with the Local Section by serving as Registration Chair for the 1998 Southeastern Regional meeting. He was the "guinea pig" registration chair for the first ever attempt at online registration at a regional meeting. This meant that he often had to enter the registration information himself because of the inevitable software bugs. After the 1998 Regional Meeting, he was elected Local Section Secretary for two consecutive terms and then stepped up to serve as General Chair of the 2004 Southeastern Regional Meeting. Most recently, he volunteered to serve as the Local Section Chair for 2005, filling a vacant position during a time of need. He also represents the NC Section at the regional level, having been elected to a 3-year term as treasurer of the Southeastern Regional Meet ing Corporation. Sol has made and continues to make an admirable contribution to both Local Section and Regional ACS activities. Although it is unusual to nominate a standing section Chair for the Marcus E. Hobbs service award, Sol Levine's history of involvement is unusual and outstanding.
