Subject: 2009 Nominations

Dear CHAS Members,

This year we have 3 elected positions available for nominations; 
Chair, Secretary, and Member-at-Large. Below are the official 
responsibilities, taken from the bylaws. As an elected officer, the 
Division provides some travel support to attend national meetings. If 
you are interested in helping CHAS, but aren't sure where you could 
fit in, please contact me to discuss. When I wanted to take a more 
active role in the operations/leadership of CHAS, I found the other 
officers and committee chairs to be welcoming and very helpful. CHAS 
is a great organization, but we are always in need of new people to 
keep the organization going.

Sincerely,

Erik Talley, Immediate Past Chair
ACS Division of Chemical Health & Safety
