2006 Awardee ACS Outstanding Local Section Women Chemists Committee
The ACS Local Section Activities Committee (LSAC) disburses approximately $115,000 annually to local sections through the “Local Section Innovative Projects Grant Program,” begun in 2004, to encourage local sections to conceive of and implement innovative projects to strengthen the functioning of the local section. Projects which support local section and division interaction are especially encouraged. With funding from this grant, WiC put together a seminar series entitled “Things Every Scientist Should Know—Outside the Laboratory”. Students of all levels and disciplines were encouraged to participate, hearing from speakers on nutrition and health, financial planning, scientific writing skills, and job hunting.

The Excellence in Diversity Recognition and Awards Program (EIDA) was created to promote and encourage support of diversity by recognizing people that have demonstrated outstanding leadership and creativity in the area of diversity. There are two separate parts of the EIDA program: (1) "Diversity Achievements" recognizes individuals, teams, units and organizations, and (2) "Students Making A Difference Through Artistic Expression" recognizes talented students who express diversity artistically.
