Focusing on What Matters Most

For more than 136 years, ACS has been the chemical enterprise’s “hometown”: the focal point for chemical professionals around the world to meet, share information, and find tools and guidance that enable them to become stronger and more marketable scientists.

As our members’ needs have changed, we have developed innovative programs and resources available to our global colleagues to meet those needs. We are committed to offering career and leadership training and resources, fostering international collaboration, improving chemistry education especially providing opportunities for underrepresented populations, and engaging the general public to highlight the value and contributions of chemists and the chemical enterprise to society.

We believe that these efforts on behalf of our more than 163,000 members will provide enormous benefits now and in the future.
