Our Local Section maintained our streak of excellence in 2018 by winning the Outstanding Continuing Public Relations Program of a Local Section at the 20th National ChemLuminary Awards held on August 21, 2018, during the ACS National Meeting in Boston.
Our Education Committee deserves all of the credit for this honor, because they work so hard each year on three major events for the section: High School Awards Dinner, College Awards Dinner, and National Chemistry Week activities at the Santa Ana Zoo. Our successful outreach to the Orange County community on the power of chemistry in their lives is a direct result of our Education Committee and dozens of committed volunteers and students.
