Younger Chemists Committee Leadership Development Award

Purpose

To provide support for young chemists to attend the Young Chemist Leadership Development Workshop at the ACS Leadership Development Institute.

Description

Each year the ACS Younger Chemists Committee (YCC) organizes a Leadership Development Workshop geared toward younger chemists and 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.

The award covers the registration fee, transportation, lodging, and meals associated with attending the Young Chemist Leadership Development Workshop at the ACS Leadership Development Institute. Participants will explore the behaviors and characteristics exhibited by effective leaders at any level. Potential leadership opportunities, both within and outside the workplace, will be discussed and personal plans for improving leadership skills will be developed.

Participants will also work alongside other ACS local, regional, and national leaders who are looking to strengthen their own leadership, management, and communication skills. This is an excellent opportunity to network and build the qualities that successful leaders possess!
