Seven years ago, a chance conversation introduced me to an American Chemical Society committee that would become one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career.
I joined the ACS Committee on Technician Affairs, now known as the ACS Committee on Chemical Technical Professionals, as an associate member. Since its founding in 1964, the committee has worked to support, advance, and recognize chemical technical professionals (CTPs) through advocacy, professional development, and recognition programs. Our mission is simple: “support, advance, and recognize the chemical technical professional.” Our vision is equally clear: to be the advocate and essential resource for CTPs.
