Volunteer Opportunities in the

Alabama Section

The Alabama Section of the ACS is a totally volunteer organization operated for the benefit of the members. Within the section there are many opportunities for you to become involved and use your talents to make the Alabama Section a truly outstanding local section. Meetings require local arrangements individuals who secure the room/location for a meeting or event and make sure everything is ready for an eventful meeting. Every year the Alabama Section participates in National Chemistry Week, which occurs during the 4th week of October, and carries through on the chosen theme for that year to engage students and the public in chemistry activities at schools, museums, malls, etc. This is an excellent event to participate in to increase the outreach efforts of the section. The ACS NCW website contains numerous suggested activities, free materials, a toolkit, publicity materials, and information on national contests that originate in local sections. You may also want to check out the committees and volunteer to serve on one of these. We promise you that your volunteer efforts will be greatly appreciated, will not involve busy work, and will permit you to network with other chemists in our local section. Check us out and help us become an outstanding organization for our members.
