CACS was founded in 1981 as a volunteer-based, non-profit professional organization. CACS addresses the common interests and concerns of Chinese American chemical professionals. It has established a mentor program to help new comers gain quick footing in their professional careers in the US. It presents Young Chemist Awards annually to outstanding high school students to help cultivate their interests in chemical sciences. In addition, Tri-State CACS is providing “China Opportunities” (www.tristatecacs.org/ChinaOpportunities.php) to our members. For timely information, please visit our website often.
