Reaching =0Athese objectives will require engaging our membership not o= nly in the United States, but around the world.

=0A I'm thrilled t= o begin my tenure as President of the American Chemical Society, and equall= y thrilled to engage ACS members with international interests. As I stated = in my recent article in =0A Chemic= al and Engineering News, I fully embrace the practice of the ACS as sta= ted in our Charter: to "advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its pr= actitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people." I believe that this g= oal reaches beyond the U.S. borders, as further emphasized by Article II, S= ection 3 of the ACS Constitution, which states "The SOCIETY shall cooperate= with scientists internationally and shall be concerned with the worldwide = application of chemistry to the needs of humanity." Reaching these objectiv= es =0Awill require engaging our membership not only in the United States, b= ut around the world. =0A

=0A = Recognizing that today's chemists and related practitione= rs require a broad range of skills and experiences, I am organizing a sympo= sium "Transnational Practice of Chemistry" at the Denver National Meet= ing - all interested should attend.  I also encourage young chemi= sts to explore the option of studying or researching abroad by visiting the = =0A ACS International Center for = hundreds of opportunities around the world. I also encourage ACS gover= nance (local sections, technical divisions, committees, etc.) to explore co= llaborating internationally through applying for a =0A = Global Innova= tion (GI) Grant. =0A

The aforementioned programs are managed by= that the ACS International Activities staff (along with this e-newsletter)= , and they are happy to help you discover different ways to engage internat= ionally. And, of course, please feel free to email me anytime at =0A = president@acs.org. = =0A
