Introduction
The purpose of the BCC is to provide guidance, oversight, and financial accountability to the
General and Program Chairs of the BCCEs; to review evaluations and financial reports of past
BCCEs; to solicit, evaluate bids, conduct site visits, recommend the locations and General Chairs
of future BCCEs; to closely evaluate BCCE Memoranda of Agreement (MOA); and to provide
fiduciary responsibility for DivCHED’s BCCE enterprise. The Biennial Conference is the
signature event for our Division, typically having more than 1500 attendees presenting papers,
participating in workshops, and exploring research to improve student learning. The BCCE is
the premiere conference for chemical educators throughout the world.
