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.
Duane J. Roth, Chief Executive Officer of CONNECT, is the guest speaker for the Senior Chemists Breakfast at the San Diego ACS National Meeting. CONNECT is the globally recognized public benefits organization fostering entrepreneurship in the San Diego region by assisting new business formation of technology and life sciences companies. CONNECT has been directly involved with over 3,000 companies since its inception in 1985 and these companies have secured over $10 billion in funding.
Prior to joining CONNECT, Mr. Roth founded Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp., where he currently serves as Chairman of the Board. Prior to Alliance, he held senior management positions at Johnson & Johnson and Wyeth operating companies. He has served as a member of the Board of Directors and executive committees of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the California Healthcare Institute (CHI) and BIOCOM (past Chair).
The event is on Tuesday, March 27, 7:30 a.m., at the San Diego Marriott Marquis Hotel, and is sponsored by the Senior Chemists Task Force and the ACS Development Office. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased via registration. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.
