SALUTES TO EXCELLENCE |
| Each year the Detroit Section of the ACS presents Salutes to Excellence
Awards to its members. Currently the Executive Committee is soliciting
nominations for this award. In case you are not aware of the program, Salutes
to Excellence is an award program that gives ACS members an opportunity to
recognize the positive impact on everyday life made by a product of chemistry,
a practitioner of Chemistry, or a place of importance in chemistry. So, if
you know of someone who deserves to be recognized for his or her hard work,
please send in the nomination. The nominee can also be an institution as
well. For example, ABC Chemical Company was very involved in your local school
district. As a result of their commitment, your students’ interest in
science increased.
Since the program was first unveiled in 2000 by the ACS Office of Community
Activities (OCA) more than 251 honorees nationwide have received Salutes
to Excellence recognition. A central part of the event is the presentation
of a commemorative plaque, furnished by OCA, for the honoree(s) for the chemistry
achievement being honored. Each year the award(s) is presented at the
CIC meeting in May. The honoree(s) and their guest(s) will be invited to
the awards banquet compliments of the Detroit Section. If you have any questions
on the criteria of the award, please contact Mary Kay Heidtke, Recognition
Chair for the Detroit Section. Her e-mail address is: mkheidtke@aol.com.
