The American Chemical Society was founded in 1876. It is a Congressionally chartered nonprofit organization and the world’s largest scientific society, with a membership of over 150,000 chemists and chemical engineers in the USA and world-wide.
The Saint Louis Section–ACS was organized in 1907; its territory (map, popup) comprises the counties of St Louis, St Louis city, St Charles, Jefferson, Ste Genevieve, Warren, and Lincoln in Missouri; and Madison, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery, Fayette, Bond, and St Clair in Illinois. We have a rich history, including receiving and bestowing many awards. We have been fortunate to have many wonderful volunteers serve as officers over the years. We currently have over 1,700 members in the St Louis area.
If you're not a member, you can join the national ACS, which confers automatic membership in a local section, or become a local section affiliate.
