Alongside all-attendee sessions and networking events, the conference will feature track-based training, including a track for Divisional Leaders.
The Executive Committee of PROF continued to invest in aspiring leaders within their division. “[PROF] recognizes that providing emerging leaders with the professional leadership tools gained at the ACS Leadership Institute is necessary to maintain a strong leadership pipeline within our Division, our Society, and the greater chemistry profession,” shared PROF Councilor Matt Grandbois, “and we are proud to establish yet another resource for our members in alignment with our strategic Mission aimed at benefiting chemical professionals throughout their careers.”
