Technical Division ACS Network Toolkit
Technical Division ACS Network Toolkit
Why ACS Network
The ACS Network is the social tool of the American Chemical Society. As a chemist, this resource allows you to connect with other chemists throughout your career. The content is owned by the ACS and its functionality is being developed with the chemical community in mind. It has tools which allow you to develop a profile and to collect friends. It uses the ACS ID, the same credentials you use to renew your dues or to access C&EN or other publications online.

Executive Committee or Division Officers
The ACS Network has some very strong tools that can support the work and duties of technical division officers. A secret group can be formed to keep minutes, notes, and any other documents generated for and by division officers. The document and file upload tools provide a better way for a group to write or review documents than by email. The secret group can become the permanent place to keep documents as officers change.

Technical Division Events and Programming at National and Regional Meetings
Use the Network can help your technical division decide as a group what events you want to sponsor, such as social events at national meetings. There are various ways you can prioritize or vote on ideas. And then when you are ready, you can invite and promote them using the events function. When your division is done with a particular event, you can post pictures in a photo album or share a video for all your members to see.
Technical Divisions can also use the ACS Network to assist in developing programming for national and regional meetings. Discussions among the program committee and division members can be used to solicit ideas or brainstorm topics. As with other events, you can use tools to prioritize and vote on ideas for symposia.
