The ACS government affairs programs promote public policy that advance the chemical enterprises and its practitioners, as called for in the ACS congressional charter. The Society provides a voice, at the federal and state levels, for chemists and chemical engineers when laws and regulations are developed and when government programs are being funded. ACS members are important partners in these government affairs efforts. The Society also conducts educational activities aimed at expanding policy makers' knowledge of scientific and technical issues and support for chemistry technician education.
