Sustainability in Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions

Foreword

Welcome to the 2019 Tri-State CACS Symposium!

On behalf of the Tri-State CACS Board, we would like to express our sincerest appreciation to our sponsors, vendors and volunteers for their support and contributions to our symposium and to our organization.

Today, chemical and pharmaceutical enterprises are facing ever-increasing challenges due to technology advances, regulatory pressures and increasing competitions in the global business environments. As a result, merge, acquisition and reorganization have become the norm that has impacted companies and employees alike. To address these changes and challenges, organizations across the globe are devising R&D and business strategies and processes that are focusing on innovation and sustainability to accelerate the research, development and commercialization of new products. The challenges and solutions around sustainability in chemistry will be the topic of our symposium this year.

Over the years, Tri-State CACS has been bringing its members the opportunity to expand their skills through its annual symposium. This year, we are very pleased to have another group of prominent speakers from various industries and educational and non-profit organizations to join us at our symposium. These leaders will share their perspectives on “Sustainability in Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions”. We thank all the speakers for sharing their visions concerning future growth drivers in their respective disciplines, their leadership experience and advice on professional growth.

The presentations will be accompanied by vendor exhibitions. In addition, our symposium will serve as an excellent venue for chemical and pharmaceutical professionals to interact with colleagues from diverse background. Registration for the symposium is free and breakfast and lunch are complimentary. There will be ample job opportunities for job seekers.

We thank you for making this symposium part of your weekend and for making CACS a more valuable professional organization to all of us.

We wish each and every one of you get the most out of this annual symposium.
