Programs supported by the American Chemical Society’s (ACS’s) Office of Community Activities (OCA) are designed to assist volunteers in becoming more involved in their local section, division(s), and community by providing reliable resources that can be easily used for promoting the contributions of chemistry. Participation in community activities provides opportunities for ACS members to increase media and public awareness of the importance of chemistry in our daily lives. For advice on these or other community activity programs available through ACS, contact the Office of Community Activities, oca@acs.org. If you are interested in heading up one of these outreach programs, contact the local section chair: Dr. Frank Weaver at fweaver@rockford.edu.
