Dear ACS NCCRT Members, 

We are excited to share the proposed ACS NCCRT Steering Committee slate for 2024-2025.  

Information About the Nomination & Selection Process: The ACS NCCRT Nominating Committee reviews all nominations and prepares a recommended slate for membership. Per our bylaws, this is to be emailed to ACS NCCRT members on behalf of the Steering Committee no later than 30 days before the ACS NCCRT Annual Meeting. The slate will be voted on in-person at the ACS NCCRT Annual Meeting, with a majority vote of the membership being required to approve the slate. As a reminder, each non-corporate ACS NCCRT member (organization or individual) will have one vote. Corporate associates are not permitted to vote.  

This year’s vote will take place on Thursday, November 21 during ACS NCCRT Chair, Dr. Steven Itzkowitz’s keynote address. If you have not yet registered for the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to do as soon as possible.
