Greetings!

It is my sincere pleasure to be serving as Chair of the BMGT Division for 2023. If you are already a member – I hope you are finding great value in your decision to engage with this unique division within  the Society. The business of chemistry touches us all!  BMGT is “home” to a large cross section of the ACS membership, a place where no matter what area of chemistry interests you BMGT is there.  We are planning a Strategic Retreat and will meet in Indianapolis to discuss where we are and where we should be as a division. I find these retreats really refreshing, an opportunity to review, re-focus and grow.

If there are aspects of the division you appreciate and like, let us know! And if there are areas where you think the Executive Leadership can improve, let us know! Feel free to email me at chair@bmgt.org with ideas, stories, etc.

If you are considering becoming a member, please reach out. If you can’t find answers to your questions on our website, we have a leadership team which crosses a myriad of boundaries, members with extensive experience in the areas of mentoring, project management, leadership and they are ready to assist you.

ACS is an amazing organization with dedicated staff and volunteers. I am sure you will find a “friend” in BMGT to make your membership dollars even more valuable.
