The ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses (SCHB) makes it easy for chemical business-mined members to connect at ACS national, regional, and local section meetings. Informative programming and networking events, including symposia coffee breaks and robust inter-divisional receptions are member favorites at national meetings. SCHB programming features <i>Entrepreneurs Tool-Kit</i>, which consists of resources, best practices, and narrative stories of startups and entrepreneurial experiences. At several regional meetings each year, SCHB organizes business and entrepreneurial sessions, including the <i>Innovation Fair</i>, that recently earned the 2017 and 2018 ChemLuminary Member Engagement Award. SCHB actively seeks the opportunity to collaborate with other ACS Divisions, Committees, and Local Sections to organize thematic and business-focused symposia. Through these programs, dedicated small business Expo row, newsletter and eblasts, 24x365 social media and mentorship, and many other member benifits, SCHB remains the hub for innovation and entrepreneurship inside the American Chemical Society.
