Farewell from Outgoing WCC Chair: Kim Woznack

Dr. Kimberly Woznack

It has been my great pleasure to serve the ACS on the Women Chemists Committee (WCC) since 2011.  After chairing the WCC for the past three years my time on the WCC has ended.  The ACS volunteers I have met have been fascinating, creative and talented people.  The WCC vision and mission are still as important in 2021 as in 1927 when the WCC was first founded. While I will always cherish my years spent on WCC, I am excited for some new ACS volunteer adventures ahead. I look forward to meeting and networking with additional passionate ACS volunteers, while also contributing in new ways to ACS.

Best Wishes,

Kim Woznack
