Advancing Inclusion to the Next Level with your Local Section
The American Chemical Society has long aspired to make the chemistry enterprise a place for everyone. Over the past several years, that aspiration has intensified with additional grants, the creation of new offices, and new efforts to support the addition of our newest ACS Strategic Plan goal. Learn about the various resources and guides that the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Respect has developed to assist with hosting inclusive events; working with partner organizations or underserved communities, and other activities that ACS Local Sections can take to help ACS advance and embrace inclusion in chemistry. Included in this session will be details on how to apply for Local Section DEIR grants and breakout sessions to brainstorm and share potential and successful activity ideas.
