 Special Benefits for Unemployed ACS Members

During these tough economic times, it's more important than ever to belong to the American Chemical Society. Unemployed members can tap into a host of valuable benefits and services that can help them get back into the workforce. Members in good standing may qualify for an unemployed-member dues waiver, allowing them to maintain their memberships and retain their member benefits at no cost. For more information on the dues waiver for unemployed ACS members, contact ACS Member Services at service@acs.org or (800) 333-9511. You can also find a complete list of special benefits available to unemployed members online.

American Chemical Society
Texas Professional Engineers License


Dear Members:

The Professional Development Committee and the Younger Chemists Committee of the Greater Houston Section hopes to provide an opportunity for interested ACS members to earn their Texas Professional Engineers License (for the Chemical Engineering Discipline). Local universities have offered preparation courses for the Engineer-In-Training (E.I.T) exam and we hope that a similar course could be offered for the Texas P.E. License Exam. We hope to work with the South Texas Section of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) to further this prospect, so at present we are surveying our membership to gauge interest and hopefully build some productive momentum for such an offering. Further information about the exam can be found on the Texas Board of Professional Engineers website: http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us/index.htm

Members can express their interest and support for this initiative by sending an email to the Greater Houston Section (acs-ghs@acs-ghs.org). 

We look forward to hearing from you and welcome the chance to offer this and other professional development opportunities to our membership.
