So, anyway, if you’d like to know more about my current elected role as Councilor, or about CHED or ACS Council, I’m here in the comments, DMs, etc. Let’s chat.

CHED ExComm approved almost $100K in CHED member scholarships for #BCCE2026. & while our role is often fiduciary, the ability to give back to CHED (via webinars (POGIL, Early Career Chemists, etc) or communication & solidarity in hard times or scholarships) is a breath of fresh air. #ACSFall2025

Side note: CALC still has to be approved by the Board, but we expect this to happen.

Most of the time the votes are for things that help the society by slightly restructuring or enacting something.
Yesterday, we voted to create a Committee on the Advancement of LGTBQ+ Chemists (CALC) & it passed with more than 85% of the vote & 0 discussion. That was a magical moment. #ACSFall2025
