The plan rests on the foundation of our Vision of "Improvi= ng people's lives through the transforming power of chemistry," and our Mis= sion to "Advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for= the benefit of Earth and its people."  We will marshal our resources = to: provide information, advance member careers, improve education, and com= municate =0Achemistry's value.
