The Minority Affairs (MA) subdivision of the Professional Relations (PROF) division is made up of members from the American Chemical Society who are interested in advancing the professional development and employment status of minority chemists in the chemical enterprise. The subdivision’s goals are to 1) provide relevant programming at regional and national ACS meetings; and 2) increase the number of people of color that are engaged in ACS activities, as members and leaders, at all levels of governance. This poster will highlight this subdivision and its recent activities.  Additional focus will be given to data on the underrepresentation of ethnic and racial groups in the chemical sciences, the subdivision’s eligibility for membership, and networking/mentoring opportunities.
