About NESACS

Organization Meeting, February 4, 1898
Charter Granted, March 7, 1898
Incorporated, May 26, 1926

The mission of  the Northeastern Section of the ACS is the advancement of chemistry and chemical engineering, the promotion of research, the improvement of the qualifications of members through high standards of educational and professional ethics, the increase and diffusion of chemical knowledge, and the promotion of scientific interests and inquiry.

Major Activities

  • We’re recognized as a leading organization for the advancement of chemistry at all educational levels and in industry for the Massachusetts Bay area and New Hampshire.
  • We empower our members to advance chemistry, elevate their career potential, expand their networks, inspire future generations, collaborate globally and build communities that provide scientific solutions.
  • We provide broader networks that facilitate connections and open doors in a way no other professional organization can match!

How We Support, Advance & Empower

The Northeastern Section of the ACS provides information, education, career services, professional development and engagement programs to help our members and scientists thrive in an ever-changing global economy. We also support teaching and learning for students of all ages through grants and scholarships, and we encourage investments in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, research and innovation.
