The Charles R. Bennett Service Through Chemistry Award
| Every year the Orange County Section of the American Chemical Society seeks nominations for the Charles R. Bennett "Service Through Chemistry" Award. This award recognizes contributions of chemists to society in the broadest sense. The award was started in 1972 and was renamed in 2003 to honor Charles R. Bennett, a long-time active member of the Orange County Section. He was a well-respected and highly knowledgeable consultant. He played an active public role on many environmental issues, both international and local, and served on the ACS Committee on Environmental Improvement at the national level. |  |
