I am serving my third term as Councilor for Silicon Valley section. I am also currently serving on the LSAC (Local Section Activities Committee). This is the National ACS committee that administers the local section programs with funding opportunities, shared ideas for novel programs, celebrations of the ChemLuminary Awards, and advice and support for sections that are in disarray. Since I have now completed my term as Chair of the local section, I hope to devote more time to ACS National activities and planning the ACS Western Regional meeting scheduled for 2025.
