ACS Committees

• Joint Board-Council Committees (12)• Society Committees (2)• Board Committees (13) • Council Committees (6)

• Divisional Activities*• Economic and Professional Affairs• Local Section Activities • Meetings and Expositions*• Membership Activities• Constitution and Bylaws

• What do they do? Much of the tactical governance work of the Society.


Divisions and ACS

• 32 technical divisions

• Autonomous 501(c)(3) organizations, each with its own set of bylaws

• Division membership – approximately 37% of ACS members choose to belong to one or more divisions (59,162/158,401). From 2014 year-end data.

Why do Divisions exist?

• Provide division members and others with access to the information and the people they need to succeed professionally.– I want access to my discipline’s technical/professional

information

– I want to connect and communicate with like-minded chemists.

• Provide recognition through awards, grants/scholarships, fellowships, and other means.

Next steps: Best Practice Sharing

• DAC

– Shares Best Practices overview with division ExComs

– Creates electronic sharing site for Best Practices

– Makes POD short technology available for division promotions

– Shares data on division membership by local section

– Host bi-monthly conference call for division leaders

– Engages MAC to assist with recruitment/ engagement

• Divisions

– Collect Best Practices on a separate “FORM”

– IPG report becomes a poster

– Division creates and a “who we are” Poster

– Division displays IPG and information posters at SciMix, etc.


Discussion

• Would developing tools to help share Best Practices be valued by your division?

• Would your division participate in sharing – adapting Best Practices?

• Feedback – comments on next steps/ action plans:• Would you add steps• Would you eliminate steps• What would you like done first

• Would you help sell this to your ExComs?


POD Shorts

John C. Katz

Director, Member Communities

Staff Liaison, Committee on Divisional Activities


Big Idea

ACS is in a global competition to obtain and disseminate high-quality scientific information.

To further that goal, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to contribute – and consume – content that will help them advance.


Presentations on Demand

Since the 2009 Salt Lake City meeting, ACS has been capturing and posting selected, full-length presentations delivered at national meetings.

Content includes audio-synced slides and audio.


Cost/Benefit of POD

Benefit: Selected speakers at national meetings receive greater exposure for their work.

Benefit: More ACS members can access content delivered at national meetings, whether or not they attended the meeting.

Cost: Expensive to capture due to labor and equipment costs in hotels and convention centers.


Challenge: How to Capture/Share Content at a Lower Cost

POD Shorts Concept:

Participating presenters use 3-5 minutes of video time to share – with or without slides - what they think their fellow scientists most need to know about their presentation.


POD Shorts Advantages

• Potential appeal to a wider range of NM presenters

• Shorter pieces of content may be more inviting to consume for time-challenged audiences

• Presenters may record and review their presentation, doing several “takes” in our ‘studio’

• Presenter can talk, present in a regular format with slides, a combination of both, or even conduct a question and answer with a colleague.

• ACS staff can capture and disseminate POD Shorts at a fraction of the cost of full-length POD


POD Shorts in Denver

Run an experiment to find out:

1. Are speakers interested in participating in this concept?

2. Are audiences interested in consuming this content?

3. Can staff readily schedule, capture, and post 40-50 POD Shorts?


Process for Denver

January 27: Message sent to division chairs alerting them to POD Shorts process

February 4: To save divisions time/effort, staff will contact all Denver oral presenters inviting them to participate (first-come/first serve)

March 4: Deadline for presenter response

March 11: Staff confirm day/time appointments to the 40-50 POD Short participants


Post-Denver

• POD Shorts to be posted with POD content approx. 4 weeks after meeting

• Assess Denver POD Shorts experiment with DAC in Boston

• If results support, possibly capture 90-100 POD Shorts in Boston


Summary

• POD Shorts is an effort to expand opportunities for people to contribute and consume content.

• Leverages the value of information delivered at national meetings.

• Provides greater exposure for presenters.

• Provides for economical capture and distribution of content.

Big Question: Will presenters and audience respond favorably?



Recruiting, Retaining, Engaging ACS Division Members

• Does your division have a strategy?

• How does your division let others know who you are?

• How does your division communicate to

– Members?– ACS members not in your division?– Students?– International chemists?

• How does your division ask for volunteers?

• How does your division leverage lies to journals?


Free Division Membership Data

24,113 new members joined ACS in 2013. Of that number, 9,184 joined a division at no cost.

During 2014, 33% of those who joined a division at no cost in 2013 paid to extend their division membership, or purchase another division membership.

Put another way:

• 38% of those eligible for a free division membership in 2013 availed themselves of the offer.

• Of those who tried a division for free in 2013, 33% saw sufficient value to renew with that division, or pay for a different division membership.


What divisions are doing

• Webinar Program to Enhance the AGRO Membership Experience

• PHYS Undergraduate and Young Faculty Mentoring at ACS National Meetings

• Inaugural ACS-PMSE/Chinese Chemical Society-Polymer Division (CCS-PD) Joint Symposium on Polymers, Chengdu, China.

• Involve existing POLY/PMSE student chapters in assisting students and faculty at other colleges and universities in establishing new chapters.

• Attract leading scientists, regulators, and pest control practitioners to interactive discussion sessions on how best to increase the development and use of biopesticides

• Teach chemistry students how to translate the scientific discoveries into commercial products or services.


What divisions are doing• Encourages student members to develop their science communication

and teamwork skills in a creative environment while concurrently learningabout chemistry through the lens of Cajun cuisine.

• Teach chemistry students how to translate the scientific discoveries into commercial products or services.

• Develop and implement an online laboratory safety training course and certification program designed to document proficiency to potential employers in industry and academia.

• Bring archaeologists, conservators, and other scientists together who use chemical methods of analysis.

• Offer the first multi-day medicinal chemistry course in India, serving as the basis for additional scientific exchanges in the future.

• rain Division members in an interactive, entrepreneurial workshop, to translate their research into innovation and job creation.
