During the planning session, committee members worked to identify priorities and opportunities that will guide future programs, resources, and initiatives.
Jacques transitions to this new role in the ACS as he completed his term as the Executive Secretary of the American Chemical Society Committee on Chemical Safety, and continues to contribute to national efforts focused on laboratory safety, psychological safety, and science education.
