NEW YORK SECTION AWARDS

Since 1991 the New York Section has been awarded the "Best Annual Report of an Extra Large Section"  nine times.  This 50% rate of winning the top ACS award attests to the vitality, creativity, organization and dedication of the NY ACS members.  I am proud to have them as my colleagues.

In addition to  the major awards, the NY Section has been a consistent award winner for many of the individual ChemLuminary Awards. 


I fully support awards programs since the only pay our volunteers get is a sincere "THANK YOU".  The ChemLuminaries are about as sincere as you can get.
