The Northeastern Section of the ACS (NESACS) is a large section – nearly 6500 members, according to National ACS. On average, about one hundred members attend monthly section meetings. These meetings usually take place somewhere in the Boston area on the second Thursday of each month between September and May. In addition, the section has a vibrant Younger Chemists Committee (seewww.nsycc.org), a very active medicinal chemistry sub-group, award-winning Public Relations Committee, and our Women Chemists Committee which oversee a wide range of additional activities. All of this happens, not through the will or efforts of the current Chair, but through the continued goodwill of our active membership, a very talented, hardworking and vibrant group of individuals representing a wide range of interests and backgrounds in the Boston area chemical sciences community. We are truly blessed as a section in which so many give so freely of their time, skills, and interests in service to the Section in many different capacities!The Northeastern Section of the Younger Chemists Committee (NSYCC) is a subcommittee of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS), which is a section of the American Chemical Society (ACS), that serves about 1,500 younger chemists within the Northeastern region of the United States including, but not limited to, Eastern Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Members of our organization include undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in academia, and young professionals in industry, government, and other non-traditional jobs. A key goal of the NSYCC is to provide opportunities and resources for career development to our members.
