Association Information
Association Activity : The First 100 Years
Thirty-five chemists met at the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York on April 6, 1876, to found the American Chemical Society. Seven months later, the first president of the newly formed society, John William Draper, delivered his inaugural address at Chickering Hall in New York.

From its inception, the ACS was committed to sharing its professional work with a public audience. ACS began publishing its flagship journal, the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), in April, 1879. Abstracts, which had appeared in JACS since 1897, were given their own publication, Chemical Abstracts in January 1907.

By 1930, ACS had 18,206 members, 83 local sections and 17 disciplinary divisions. On August 25, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Public Act No. 358, incorporating the society under federal charter. ACS celebrated its centennial year in 1976, at two national meetings with over 10,000 attendees at each.

2007 Fall Council Meeting PPT About the office of the president
Being elected to the office of the President of the American Chemical Society is the highest honor that the members of the organization can bestow upon one of their associates. Since ACS was founded in 1876, many highly educated and respected members of the Society have occupied the office of the President. It is a central position that starts before the individual actually serves as President and continues after their term is over. Presidential candidates are elected to the office one year before their terms begin, during this period they serve as the President-Elect.

The President-Elect serves as a member of the Board of Directors and of its Executive Committee. The President-Elect may also be called upon as a member of one or more Society Committees or Standing Committees of the Board. If the President of the Society is unable to serve, the President-Elect will act as presiding officer of the Council. Similarly, the Constitution states that the President-Elect shall succeed to the office of President if a vacancy occurs during the President's term of office. The President-Elect is ex-officio a voting member of the Committee on Committees and of the Council Policy Committee. The office also appoints the necessary canvassing and award committees for most awards administered by the ACS.

After the President-Elect serves his or her one-year term, he or she then becomes President on for one year, commencing January 1. The President still is ex-officio a voting member of the Council Policy Committee, a member of the Board of Directors and of its Executive Board, and now serves ex-officio as a member of the C&EN Publishing Board. The President of the Society is the President of the Council and its presiding officer, as well as the Chair of the Council Policy Committee. In the
