Volume 84, Issue 41
The 8th Annual ChemLuminary Award celebration was held on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the San Francisco Marriott during the ACS national meeting. Thirteen committees, through 37 awards, saluted the outstanding efforts of volunteers in 2005 on behalf of ACS.
The evening began with the recognition of E. Gerald Meyer, the 2006 recipient of the Award for Volunteer Service to the American Chemical Society. Meyer delivered the keynote address, "Why Me?" Meyer, emeritus professor of chemistry and dean of arts and sciences at the University of Wyoming, was honored for his leadership in two local sections, for founding and continuing contributions to the ACS Rocky Mountain Region, and for his continuous service in governance during 66 years of active membership.
Listed here are the winning division, section, or individual, organized by committee sponsoring the award. Local section size categories are determined by the number of members: small, 50-199; medium-small, 200-399; medium, 400-799; medium-large, 800-1,599; large, 1,600-3,199; and very large, more than 3,199.
