The two candidates for 2019 president-elect are Luis A. Echegoyen, Robert A. Welch Professor of Chemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso; and Thomas R. Gilbert, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Northeastern University, in Boston. The winner will serve a three-year term on the board as a member of the presidential succession.

The candidates for District I director are Katherine L. Lee, associate research fellow in Inflammation and Immunology Medicinal Chemistry at Pfizer in Cambridge, Mass.; and Laura E. Pence, professor of chemistry at the University of Hartford, in Connecticut.

The candidates for director of District V are John E. Adams, Curators’ Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri, in Columbia; and Joseph A. Heppert, vice president for research at Texas Tech University, in Lubbock.

Four candidates are vying for two director-at-large openings: Frank D. Blum, Harrison I. Bartlett Chair and Regents’ Professor of Chemistry at Oklahoma State University, in Stillwater; Lee H. Latimer, a consultant in drug development at LHLatimer Consulting, in Oakland, Calif.; Ingrid Montes, assistant dean of graduate studies and research at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras; and Angela W. Peters, vice provost for academic programs and professor of chemistry at Claflin University, in Orangeburg, S.C.

Candidate statements will run in the Sept. 10 issue of C&EN. ACS members will have the option of voting for president-elect and other members of the Board of Directors via the internet, or they can opt in to receive a paper ballot, which will be distributed at the end of September. Results will be announced in late October.
