Are you looking for ways to get involved with the Division? The Board of Publications (BoP) has some upcoming opportunities to share. For those not familiar with the BoP, we act on behalf of the Division to support the publishing missions of the Journal and ChemEd X, whose combined audience represents the entire spectrum of chemistry education professionals. In collaboration with the American Chemical Society, the BoP safeguards the interests of the Journal with respect to its operations and reach. The BoP prioritizes fiduciary responsibilities in supporting the needs of the Journal, ChemEd X, and its collective audience. BoP builds leadership ensuring that the Board is comprised of qualified and dedicated DivCHED members and supports activities and/or entities that promote the publication mission of the Division of Chemical Education. 

Towards the goal of building leadership, we invite two DivCHED members, who have not previously served on the BoP, to join us for two consecutive meetings, starting with the fall meeting, as Board Associates. Associates are provided with travel funds to attend the two meetings and get to see first-hand what the BoP does. If you are interested in being considered for a Board Associate position please submit a brief biographical statement, including why you are interested in this opportunity, to the BoP Chair (Debbie Herrington – herringd@gvsu.edu) by March 14, 2025.
