Committee on Corporation Associates

Committee on Corporation Associates What We Do Founded in 1952, the Board Committee on Corporation Associates (CA) is the voice of industry to the American Chemical Society. We provide guidance to develop public policy, address the needs of the chemical workforce, recognize scientific excellence, and enhance the public perception of chemistry. Our core values are safety, and diversity, equity, inclusion and respect. CA represents the formal link between the ACS and the chemical and allied industries. It provides a corporate voice to ACS and works to ensure the society provides companies and their industrial members with resources and services needed for success. CA member companies actively support the profession and science of chemistry through participation in the committee. Each member company pays annual dues that, in part, constitute the CA Grants Fund. CA member companies: - Support activities by ACS local sections, international chapters and ACS divisions to promote stronger connections to industry - Guide ACS public policy statements of industrial relevance - Recognize excellence in industrial research - Help prepare students for work in industry - Discuss issues of importance to industrial research, e.g. industry roundtables - Build partnerships between industry and academia (and national labs). In addition, company representatives themselves have the opportunity to network with other industry leaders.
