Networking Session: ACS and Beyond: How Do We Embrace and Advance Inclusion in Chemistry
Join us for a networking session on the new ACS Goal 5.
In December 2020, the ACS Board of Directors approved updates to the ACS Strategic Plan which includes a *new* goal, “Embrace and Advance Inclusion in Chemistry”. The Division of Professional Relations and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Respect Advisory Board have a strong interest in helping the ACS achieve this goal both within the Society, and in the broader chemistry community. Join us in discussing how we can make this goal a reality.
Networking Session: COVID: Lessons Learned
Join us for a networking session immediately following Monday afternoon’s first COVID-focused session.
