The international membership of ACS has grown over the past few decades. Indeed, it is one of the few member categories that have reliably grown over the past 7 years. As of 2020, there are almost 39,000 ACS members living outside the U.S. – almost a quarter of our total membership. To support this growing and diverse member population, ACS has established International Chemical Sciences Chapters (ICSCs) that allow chemists within a geographic area to connect with one another and foster collaboration across the globe. There are currently 25 ICSCs across 5 continents (North America is the 6th, represented in the U.S. by Local Sections). The International Activities Committee (IAC), a joint Board-Council Committee, supports and oversees the activities of the ICSCs. This poster focuses on the efforts of the IAC to ensure that our international members have access to the same services, support and resources as all members, and that the ACS commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and respect spans across the globe.
