Council is the representative governing body of the ACS (similar to Congre
ss but with one house) where every local section has representatives based o
n number of members in the local section (all ACS members are members of a l
ocal section), and each division has representatives also based on size. The reps are called Councilors and are elected by the groups they represe
nt. In addition, there is a Board of Directors, the members of which a
re elected from one of six districts, from Council (6 members also called me
mbers-at-large), the three members of the Presidential succession (past, cur
rent and future) and the Executive Director as ex-officio (total of 16). The President presides over Council which meets on Wednesday mornings at
each national meeting beginning at 8 (see program). In addition there
are 34 (?) committees made up of Councilors and non-councilors, and board me
mbers covering a wide ranges of topics and needs.
Hope this is short summary of governance makes sense. There is way mo
re at acs.org/governance!

It is worth noting that this topic is the subject of the spe cial discussion period at Council in Denver. The discussion is open fo r any to attend though only Councilors can participate.Since many academics are Councilors, there should be some good contribution s, though I expect the discussion to highlight the large difference in appro aches by academic and industrial scientists attention/concern/training on sa fety and an instinctive safety culture before even crossing the lab threshol d.

Greetings,
Our department chair would like a survey of the most recent (past 5 y rs) accidents in a college chemistry laboratory as part of a presentat ion to the incoming chemistry graduate students. Our students will bot h assist in teaching the undergraduate labs and begin their rese arch. I am aware of the tragic event regarding Sheri Sangi but n ot other accidents specific to a Chemistry lab. If you would are willing to share any that you know, I will compile the information and make it available to the DCHAS-L.
Thank you,
Mary Ellen
