The ACS Silver Circle is for members whose life experiences have earned them a silver "crown." Silver Circle members have valuable experiences in chemistry, which they are encouraged to share through outreach activities. They have common interests or concerns that may be addressed in local Silver Circle committees.
At the Spring 2009 ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT, the Senior Chemists Task Force was created to determine how ACS can best meet the needs of this growing population of members.
Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, 2011 ACS President-Elect and William T. Evjue Distinguished Chair for the Wisconsin Idea at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Director of the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy, will speak on “CHEMISTRY and SOCIETY: Looking Back, Looking Around, Looking Ahead” at the Senior Chemists Breakfast on Tuesday, August 30, 7:30 a.m., at the 242nd ACS National Meeting in Denver, CO. The event will take place at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center Hotel and tickets can be purchased via registration. Ticket price for the event is $15.00.
Also in Denver, the Senior Chemists Task Force (SCTF) will co-sponsor the following symposia: Globalization: The ACS and You which is a Presidential Event; Interactions between the Younger Chemists Committee of ACS and the European Young Chemists Network of EuCheMS (European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences); True Stories of Success from Chemical Entrepreneurs followed by Best Practices for Entrepreneurs Panel Discussion; and Health Care Reform: The Impact on Chemists and the Chemical Industry.
