Chemical Education Today
Association Report: ACS Division of Chemical Education Report from the Secretary, Jerry L. Sarquis The Executive Committee of the ACS Division of Chemical Education met on Saturday, September 6, prior to the ACS Fall National Meeting in Las Vegas. Among other actions, the Committee voted to appoint Ann Cartwright and reappoint John Gelder to the Journal’s Board of Publication for three year terms. They also reappointed Don Jones and appointed Claire Baker to the Board of Trustees of the CHED Examinations Institute, each for three year terms. The results of the annual election of officers appears at the right. In addition, the membership approved the proposed changes to the Articles of Incorporation and the Division of Chemical Education Bylaws by votes of 767 to 122 and 791 to 101, respectively. As a result of these changes (which still need final approval by the ACS Committee on Constitution and Bylaws), CHED affiliate members (those who are not members of ACS) will be allowed to vote for the Division offices of Chair-elect, Treasurer, and Member-at-Large in future elections. Since ACS governance requires Councilors to be ACS members, affiliate members will not be able to vote for CHED Councilors.

Lagowski, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas Councilor (1998–2000) Loretta Jones, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado Alternate Councilor (1998–2000) John Clevenger, Truckee Meadows Community College, Reno, Nevada Anna Wilson, Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana Information about membership (or affiliate membership for those who are not members of ACS) in the Division of Chemical Education may be obtained from the Secretary, whose address is listed in the Information Column on page 1400.
