Younger Chemist Leadership Development Award

Each year, the YCC organizes a Leadership Development Workshop that is geared toward younger chemists and is held in conjunction with the ACS Annual Leaders' Conference as part of the ACS Leadership Development system. The Leadership Development Workshop is designed to help young chemists develop into highly skilled leaders in the Society and in their chosen profession by:

 

  • Developing leadership skills that will be useful to members at work and in their volunteer roles
  • Identifying the value and benefits of being an ACS volunteer leader to leaders and their employers
  • Acquiring knowledge and share best practices through networking with other ACS leaders, governance and staff
  • Having fun through engaging and interactive sessions throughout the conference

"The entire weekend was well done- I honestly could not have asked for more. All of the workshops were really useful and chock full of "real-life" applicable content. Furthermore, all of the trainers as well as attendees I met were just really high quality individuals. I felt very lucky to have had such a fabulous and unique networking opportunity." - Molly 2008 LDW Attendee
