Chemistry Enterprise 2015 During 2005, as ACS President I am leading a Societywide effort to develop scenarios of how the chemical enterprise—education, industry, and government—will change in the next ten years. The goal is to understand how ACS can help its current and future members adapt to these changes and to take advantage of the opportunities they offer.
