ACS President Katie Hunt Promotes Local Section Video

A DVD entitled, “ACS Close to Home: Local Sections Connecting Chemistry and the Community” is available in streaming and downloadable formats. It captures the many positive things that local sections do to promote chemistry in their communities and serves as a promotional tool to raise awareness, engage potential volunteers, and encourage future industrial partners/sponsors. It can be shown at a local section meeting, especially for new members, or local events with high school teachers and Student Affiliates chapters to actively reach out to the next generation.

The DVD has two components: (1) a 7-minute overview of the outreach and educational programs sponsored by ACS local sections and the critical role they play in positively influencing the public’s perception of chemistry and its practitioners; and (2) a message from ACS President Katie Hunt who talks passionately about re-igniting ACS’s commitment to science and technology: Education, Collaboration and Innovation! She also discusses her goals for her tenure in the presidential succession and how working together can accomplish the ACS Vision: “Improving people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry!”
