Promotes chemical education programming at ACS regional meetings.

Identifies worthy individuals who have dedicated years of valuable service to DivCHED.

The Program Committee plans, develops, and implements the Division's technical programs.

The program committee performs long range planning for DivCHED program at ACS national meetings. Specifically, we seek leaders to craft the program for the coming meetings and we provide peer support to encourage others to take on leadership roles in meeting planning. We also encourage the development of symposia topics for future meetings.

The program committee also provides organizational and operational support for the DivCHED program at ACS national meetings. Meeting organizers guide symposium organizers throughout the months leading up to a national meeting, then they craft the final program for the meeting. During the actual meeting, our organizers “run the show” along with ACS staff, assuring that the division’s program runs smoothly at the venue.

Meeting organizers and symposium organizers document the meeting by providing written reports which are published in the division’s newsletter and in the Journal of Chemical Education, as appropriate.

Develops qualified slates of candidates for the Division.

This Fund was established by a generous donation of Dorothy and Moses Passer. Moses (Mike) Passer was for many years the head of the ACS Education Division. The Fund grants for teachers at two- and four-year colleges or universities that do not have any advanced degree programs in the chemical sciences.

Explains the benefits of belonging to the Division to high school teachers and encourages them to join through various activities and programs.

The Finance Committee is charged with the responsibility of developing the annual budget for the ACS Division of Chemical Education (“the Division”) and overseeing this budget and other financial concerns of the Division. This committee also sends recommendations to the Division Executive Committee on financial matters such as the budget, the investment policy, audit practices, ongoing and new expenses, and ongoing and new income-generating activities.

The Finance Committee is a standing committee of the Division, constituted primarily with ex officio voting members but also with appointed voting members, including the chair. If the Division employs the services of a business management firm, a representative of this firm is appointed by the Committee chair as an ex officio non-voting member of the Committee.

Seeks to encourage and support the development, implementation, and assessment of computing technologies in chemical education.

Purpose: The mission of the Chemical Education Research (CER) Committee is to inform educators about chemical education research and to foster scholarship and encourage improvement in the quality of chemistry education research.

Vision: The CER committee endeavors to provide 1) a variety of avenues for chemical educators to learn about chemical education research, 2) platforms for the dissemination of research, and 3) highlights of work and methods within the field.

Composition: The committee is composed of a chair, co-chair, a secretary, and 9 additional members. The committee sustains several sub-committees, some containing non-members (referred to as the ‘friends of CERC’). Members serve 3-year terms and can serve for up to two consecutive terms.
