Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your summer. Many of us are beginning to gear up for ACS 2026 Fall Meetings and Convention, and we have a great opportunity to connect with more attendees and show just how great ACS CHAS really is! Last spring's
meeting proved that having tables with CHAS reps outside of our symposiums as well as throughout the day can make some incredible and meaningful connections. I am soliciting your help in representing CHAS at our CHAS promotional table if you have the available
time. All you would have to do is speak with people as they walk by and come up to the table, let them know about CHAS (we will give you a list of things you can say and/or highlight such as things we do, how to sign up, periodicals to give out, etc.) and
let them know of the symposiums that are currently taking place or coming up. I have listed the days and times below, so please contact me at dwayne.henry**At_Symbol_Here**montgomerycollege.edu if you are interested and when you will be available. Any availability is fine,
and you don't have to stay for the whole time. Thanks so much for all you all do for CHAS and your respective institutions/companies. I look forward to hearing from you all soon. The schedule is as follows:
