ACS Silver Circle
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.
