Welcome to the Virginia Local Section Home Page. We are located in the state of Virginia and are one of the 189 Local Sections of the American Chemical Society. For a map of our coverage area, click here. ACS Local Sections promote public awareness of chemistry by being involved in community outreach programs and by working with students of chemistry and science. We hope to encourage an interest in the chemical sciences.

Get Involved Now with the International Year of Chemistry
Support ACS efforts urging the US Postal Service to adopt chemistry as a theme for a commemorative stamp in 2011 celebrating the International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011).
The USPS gets 50,000 subject requests per year and awards only 25 commemorative stamps per year – your efforts in support of this request would be very important and very much appreciated!
- Visit www.acs.org/iyc2011 to download the petition.
- Distribute the petition among your colleagues, students, and friends (all chemists and friends of chemistry are encouraged to sign).
- Mail or fax completed petitions to the ACS Office of International Activities no later than November 1, 2009. (See petition for fax number and address).
Learn more about IYC 2011 at www.acs.org/iyc2011.
