There are many areas of focus that a chemist can pursue throughout their professional career. The world of chemistry includes everything from analytical chemistry to small business chemistry – and beyond!
For this very reason, the American Chemical Society has 32 Technical Divisions, which allow subject matter experts of chemistry to get together and share their passion about their specialization. These divisions offer a variety of networking events, meeting programming, and workshops to help members advance their careers. Members can publish in ACS journals and present papers at ACS and Division events throughout the year. They also have the ability to apply for a variety of awards and fellowships.
Most Technical Divisions offer 1 free year of membership to new ACS Members and some even offer a free year to existing members!
