ACS DFW Invites Nominations for Executive Committee Positions
Please submit your BIO to if interested to run for office.
ACS DFW would not exist without its volunteers. Each year Officers are elected to the Executive Committee, which governs the section. Some positions, such as the Chair series, Councilor and Alternate Councilor, are 3-year commitments, and two – Secretary & Treasurer – are 2-year terms.
In 2025 ACS DFW will elect Chair-Elect 2026 (Chair 2027), Councilor, Alternate Councilor and Secretary. Councilors represent the Local Section at ACS National meetings. Alt Councilors are voting Executive Committee members that fill in for Councilors if needed. Local Section Chairs coordinate the ExCom and plan meetings. Chairs-Elect spend a year learning and then become chair. The LS Secretary ensures compliance with ACS National requirements.
