2009 Inaugural Class of ACS Fellows
We are pleased to provide you with the list of members of the Polymer Chemistry Division who were selected as part of the first class of ACS Fellows. While some of them were nominated by POLY, others were nominated by individuals, local sections, or committees. Congratulations! Again, I would like to extend my appreciation for the role that you/your Division played in bringing this Program to fruition.

The ACS Fellows Program was created by the Board of Directors in December 2008 "to recognize members of the American Chemical Society for outstanding achievements in and contributions to Science, the Profession, and the Society." Unlike ACS national awards, the distinguished honor of a Fellows designation will go to those who have distinguished themselves in multiple areas, including promoting the science, the profession, and service to the American Chemical Society. Ultimately, the body of Fellows is intended to reach approximately 1-2% of ACS membership.
Nominees for ACS Fellows must be current members in good standing of the American Chemical Society.
The selection of ACS Fellows will be based upon demonstrated contributions in two defined areas:
* Excellence in Science/Profession and
* Outstanding Service to the American Chemical Society.
Excellence in Science/Profession could be achieved via excellence in basic or applied research; distinguished accomplishment in teaching or education; or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in an organization within the chemical sciences.
Outstanding Service to the ACS could include, but not limited to, governance on a divisional, local, regional and/or national level; publications such as editor, assistant or associate editor; meetings through organization of symposia or major presentations; involvement in National Chemistry Week, Chemists Celebrate Earth Day, environmental efforts and similar outreach activities or public communication by press, radio, TV or electronic media.
