Chair: C. Costello
 The Past Chair Pin was presented to Liming Shao.
 50 people braved the snowy weather to attend the February meeting. This showed how timely a topic was selected and the convenience of the location.

A full slate of councilors / alternate councilors are in place for the Dallas ACS
Meeting o Reminder about the 50 th anniversary of the Norris Award Symposium being cosponsored by NESACS.
Chair Elect: K. Lee

The January 16, 2014 NESACS meeting was convened at the Holiday Inn in
Brookline and featured a panel discussion moderated by K. Lee on “ Alternate
Careers for Chemists, or What Do I Want to Bo When I Grow Up?
” and included three panelists who candidly shared personal perspectives their career paths, advice on changing careers, and more. o Dr. Heidi Erlacher , Partner, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and
Popeo, P.C. o Christopher Montean , Tax Services, Ernst & Young LLP o Dr. Eddine Saiah , Head of Chemistry, Atlas Venture
 The program was designed to have broad appeal – to students pondering career choices, mid-career or unemployed chemists contemplating a career change, and retirees who are considering changing fields after retirement.
NSYCC and NESACS Board members were instrumental in publicizing the meeting.

The meeting announcement was crafted to spell out that attendees are welcome to join for the evening program only, and need not attend the dinner.
An estimated 50 people joined after dinner, making the total attendance ~110 people. Among the crowd were a large number of first-time attendees, people under the age of 25, and job seekers.
 A number of people have stepped up to volunteer for NESACS – thank you to
R. Tanner for providing a draft brochure highlighting the various NESACS committees.


K. Lee attended the 2014 ACS Leadership Institute, Jan. 24-26 in Dallas, TX and attended workshops on planning successful activities, engaging and motivating volunteers, and leading without authority. I also participated in a strategy café addressing the ACS Strategic Plan.
 Regarding working towards electronic delivery of the Nucleus being the default, I learned from a member of the Philadelphia section that they charge
$15 for hard copies of The Catalyst while all members receive an electronic copy for free. Their ad revenue did not decrease when they implemented that policy. Christine McInnis said she would be happy to share more information with NESACS in this regard.

ACS Webinar
Thursday, February 20, 2014
3:00-4:00 p.m. EST
"Science Diplomacy as a Bridge to Peace in the Middle East"
The 5th iteration of the ACS Science and Human Rights webinar series will feature Dr. Zafra
M. Lerman, President of the Malta Conferences Foundation , on the importance of science diplomacy in working toward stability in the Middle East. Last year (2013) was the 10th anniversary of the unique gatherings of scientists from 15 Middle East countries and six
Nobel Laureates to discuss issues of shared interest, such as air and water quality, green energy sources, nanotechnology, and science education.
Sponsors for last year's Malta Conference (Malta-VI) included the ACS, the Committee of
Concerned Scientists, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (Nobel
Peace Prize 2013), UNESCO, Google, AAAS, and the American Physical Society.

Special Committees
Fundraising: M. Tebbe
1. Membership for the 2014 fund-raising committee was finalized as Leland
Johnson, Stephane Ouellet, and John Podobinski. We thank Kerra
Fletcher for her help in 2013.
2. Follow-up emails have been sent to AZ, Celgene, and Cubist (three companies that pledged in 2013 to donate in 2014. a. Celgene donation of $1,000 has now been received! b. AZ has a small committee for three scientist that have been put in charge of evaluating donation requests, I have been in contact with them, but further action is pending their reply (last contacted 2/5/13) c. Cubist has been contacted and they are setting budgets, planned follow-up week of 2/21/14
3. Waters and Ernst & Young were contacted during the last month through contacts given to me by NESACS members. No responses yet, but follow-up emails to be sent (2/11/14)
4. As per discussion at last board meeting, the fund-raising committee has the list of meetings for 2014. We are working on identifying a short list of possible sponsors for each meeting and putting together action plans for each of these.
5. Committee met 2/7/14 in person to discuss strategies going forward for fund-raising. Key points are listed below.
Fund-raising approaches for 2014
 Meeting focused support a. If we target 4-5 meetings and get 2-4 sponsors for each meeting at
$1,500 per sponsor then we will be at $12-30k in donations. By targeting the requests based on meeting content, the return on effort should be higher and it delivers a more tangible value proposition to the organization donating.
726937008 8 of 21

b. We should offer some sort of tangible recognition at the meeting/dinner- some ideas follow: i. Slide acknowledging their support ii. Banner to put on dessert table (or similar) iii. Allow them to have a poster or booth (but most focus on science from their company, not just advertising) iv. “Chair drop” – allow them to place a flyer on each seat that describes their company/services, etc.
 Initial thoughts to focus on 4 Meetings a. March 6 (Jack Driscoll is mostly handling this – Thermo Fisher,
Waters, PE) i. If anyone has contacts to Varian or Bruker, I will contact them but I have no contacts b. June 12 – Lippard Talk c. October 9 – Process Talk (Stephane Ouellet will be responsible for gaining sponsors for this meeting) d. December 13 – MedChem
 March 2014 update
1. Correspondence has continued with AZ. They have confirmed a $500-
1,000 level donation. They would like this to go to a meeting/event that highlights innovation in areas of interest to AZ (listed below). My understanding is that Raj Rajur might be talking to AZ about DNA encoded libraries or something about this as a topic for the Medchem Meeting. a. Oncology (e.g. new target classes) b. Infectious Disease c. Chemical Biology (target identification) d. New Hit finding technologies (FBLG, DNA encoded libraries etc.)
2. Cubist has been contacted again, but they have still not definitively given me an amount for their donation.
3. Ernst & Young responded that they will not be sponsoring NESACS.
4. Waters has still not responded after several emails.
5. The fund-raising committee is continuing to focus on a meeting-based approach to raising funds with special focus on meetings that might have larger attendance and as such offer sponsors a greater incentive to donate. As such, there was quite an effort to get funding for the March 6 meeting with Martin Karplus. Actions are listed below:
Fund-raising approaches for March 6 Meeting:
 CRO/CMO Discussion of funding a. Mark Tebbe had discussions with Ken Drew about ideas that might be attractive to CRO/CMO type donors. He suggested using part of the social hour to allow a few sponsors 5 min each (3 slides max) to talk to the audience during the social hour just before the dinner to introduce their company. NESACS could have received $500-
1,000) for each sponsor and we could have raised up to $3,000 for
726937008 9 of 21

this meeting. However, due to the cancelation of the Feb 13 meeting, consensus in the Exec Board could not be gained so this idea was put on hold. Without the speaking time, none of these
CROs were willing to sponsor. Other thoughts offered to Flamma and the other companies are listed below i. Slide acknowledging their support ii. Banner to put on dessert table (or similar) iii. Allow them to have a poster or booth (but most focus on science from their company, not just advertising) iv.
“Chair drop” – allow them to place a flyer on each seat that describes their company/services, etc.
 Email campaign to approx. 10 companies was initiated based on other fund-raising committee ideas highlighting the meeting, suggesting levels of support, offering to sit at the table of Karplus (to only 1-2 people), as well as offering free dinner to 1-3 members from that company if they did the donation. One response was positive, and we are still working to see if we can secure that funding. a. Companies contacted : H3, Agios, Epizyme, Schlumberger,
Choate, Bruker, Pfizer, Mintz Levin, CordenPharma

Jack Driscoll also leveraged a number of his contacts to try to raise support for this meeting (Thermo-Fisher and Perkin Elmer). However, he could not gather any support for the meeting.

Notes to the 2014 Budget Proposal
02/06/14 draft
Expense accounts for which budget requests were received are shown marked with R. Expense accounts estimated from previous year are marked with E.
The "From Account" column shows the income accounts which fund the "Offset" expense budget amounts. In the places where there are two numbers, the breakdown is shown below. Requests exceeded income by $44,760. The Budget committee reduced the deficit to $15,000, after which we applied an additional 15% global reduction to most of the General expense column, leaving a deficit of
$4562.58.
A major change was made in the allotments from the Hill Trust which has been receiving more income than it has expended. The Budget Committee proposes to fund a portion of Project SEED and a portion of the German Exchange from this Trust.
NESACS expenses are restricted to those that benefit members of the
Northeastern Section. Reimbursement for expenses outside the Section should be sought through the appropriate organizations.
14 Contributions to the operating account are projected as $5000 from golf,
$2000 from Merck and $6000 from the fundraising committee.
15 Other Program Income. Consists of the offsetting income from Golf,
Ashdown and Education activities as noted in expense categories offset by account 15.
21-29 Trustees. Approval of the budget constitutes the approval to transfer the budgeted amounts from the Trust Funds for expenditures as indicated in the expense items. The National Norris Award will draw about $9,000 from the
Norris funds in addition to that shown here, requiring at least a $75,000 distribution from the Consolidated Trust.
51 Admin. Office expenses include Constant Contact.
52 Treasurer. $5600 is for the CPA audits required by Massachusetts and the remainder is for Treasurer's expenses.
53 Requested $1500 for a scanner and $4280 for an intern and materials.
Reduced by the budget committee.
54 Website expenses, partially funded from the Publications Trust.
55 Nucleus Budget Request. The Budget Committee reduced the budget to the
2013 budgeted level, and suggested omitting the summer issue as one way of accomplishing the reduction.
