 Thank you to Cathy Costello, the 2014 NESACS Chair. Under Cathy’s
leadership in 2014, significant advancements were made towards
establishing a permanent NESACS archive at Salem State University; the
Fundraising Committee became very active and helped engage sponsors for
many NESACS events; the Subsection Task Force continued to expands its
programming in Southeastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and
many diverse NESACS programs were supported.
 C. Costello was presented with the ACS Past Chair Pin.
 We are working to have another successful year in 2015. We wish to foster
engagement of NESACS members and serve our chemistry community.
 The Fall ACS National Meeting will be held in Boston on August 16-20.
Sonja Strah-Pleynet has stepped up to chair the Host Local Section
Committee, and welcomes volunteers to help represent NESACS to the
broader ACS membership. We are pleased that the first National Historic
Chemical Landmark in Massachusetts has been approved, and thank the
people who prepared the Edwin H. Land, Office/Laboratory and Instant
Photography nomination and are working now to plan the NHCL dedication.
 We support a greener Nucleus and continue to spread the word about the
electronic delivery option. See:
http://www.nesacs.org/home_electronic_delivery.html Also, we support the
efforts of the BOP to explore new ways to balance the Nucleus budget and
update the NESACS website.
 We recognize that the job market for chemists can be challenging, and strive
to provide career-oriented programming and networking opportunities for
the NESACS community.
 We will continue to support the mission of NESACS – for the advancement
of chemistry and chemical engineering, the promotion of research, the
improvement of the qualifications of members through high standards of
educational and professional ethics, the increase and diffusion of chemical
knowledge, and the promotion of scientific interests and inquiry.

 Motion: The Board of Trustees moves that a one-time additional distribution
of funds ($25,000.00) in 2015 from the Trustees Consolidated Account be
made to the recipient award funds.
o Rationale: NESACS Trustees Consolidated Account investments have
achieved a return of 8% during 2014. This has resulted in a growth of
value of the total portfolio to $3M. The Trustees propose a one-time
distribution of $25,000.00 in order to support activities of NESACS.
The distribution of these funds to the Trust accounts will be made, as is
always the case, in accordance with the percentage ownership of each
Trust account. The disbursement of the funds to the operating budgets
of the Trust accounts will be decided upon by the NESACS Budget
Committee, in compliance with the stated purpose of each Trust
o Motion approved by voice vote of the Board.
Councilors:
M. Shultz
 Recent councilor activities are centered on a WCC symposium being
organized for the fall National Meeting in Boston. We are targeting an
afternoon symposium on Sunday or Monday that will address managing
transitions. The first session will be a panel and discussion centered on the
theme: equilibrium after graduate school. The second session will focus on
relocating, shifting, downsizing and other transitions. We expect to partner
with YCC for the first session. Stay tuned as the plan evolves.

NHCL (National Historic Chemical Landmark)
A new committee was formed in Dec. 2014 with Jack Driscoll as Chair.
The first National Historic Chemical Landmark (NHCL) in MA- “Edwin Land and
Instant Photography”
Keith Lindblom of the American Chemical Society’s National Historic Chemical
Landmarks program, informed NESACS that the Edwin H. Land,
Office/Laboratory and Instant Photography nomination was approved by the
National Historic Chemical Landmark (NCHL) www.acs.org/landmarks for
2015. Dr. Edwin Land was a very creative scientist with 535 patents. His
development of the sheet polarizer, the understanding of how we perceive color,
and the nature of the chemical process for rapid development of photographs in
1948 revolutionized photography and gave us instant photography. Clearly, as
people got used to “instant photography” and phones got smarter with more
memory, instant photography evolved from the chemical to the digital realm.
.
The site is at 700 Main St. (corner Main and Osborn St.), Kendall Sq., Cambridge
and was Dr. Land’s Office and Research Laboratory. This is a building with quite
a history. In 1876, the first long distance business telephone call was made
between Bell in Cambridge and Thomas Watson in South Boston.
We plan to have the NHCL dedication at 700 Main St, Cambridge during the ACS
Fall Meeting in Aug. 2015. A reception will be held after the ceremony. The date
will be announced in the near future.

A more complete description for the NHCL will be in the Feb 2015 issue of
the Nucleus.
Letter to Governor elect Baker
I have drafted a letter to Governor elect Baker. I explained about ACS &

subsequently Rico Gore, who work in ACS Awards, regarding plaque design.
Rico works with a vendor that will design and manufacture a plaque. Their
info is below:
 Medalcraft Mint Inc.
 2660 W. Mason Street
 Green Bay, WI. 54303
o Rico sent a few examples of their work. We are still waiting for
estimation of cost and the amount of time it will take to design and
manufacture a plaque.
.
 The committee also has concerns about inviting all of the faculty from Harvard
and MIT as there was discussion about the budget at the last meeting; will
we be able to cover that cost?
 The current plan is to present the next awardee with a plaque and the cash
award. There was some discussion about also awarding the Silver medal.
o The Richard’s Trust will cover the expenses related to the creation of a
new plaque.

Subsection Task Force: M. Hoffman
The Subsection Task Force (STF) was established by vote of the NESACS Board of
Directors at its January 2013 meeting with the charge to evaluate the feasibility of
establishing subsections of NESACS in the Southeastern Massachusetts (SE-MA) and
New Hampshire (NH) areas. In order to make that evaluation and develop a roster of
interested volunteers to develop programming for NESACS members, potential
members, and the general public, STF planned and held four meetings during 2013 and
2014 outside the Section’s Boston/Cambridge/environs core area, three in SE-MA and
one in NH. In 2013, NESACS applied for and received an innovative program grant of
$1,500 from the ACS Local Section Activities Committee (LSAC) for the project.
533565449
8 of 19
STF had the following initial membership: Morton Hoffman (Boston University), Chair;
Ruth Tanner (University of Massachusetts Lowell); Robert Lichter (Merrimack
Consultants, Great Barrington, MA); Jack Driscoll (PID Analyzers, Sandwich, MA);
Robert Howard (Weeset Advisors, Orleans, MA); Jerry Jasinski (Keene (NH) State
College); Gary Weisman (University of New Hampshire). Through the course of 2013
and 2014, Gary Weisman left STF, and Jennifer Maclachlin (PID Analyzers, Sandwich,
MA) and Paul Reibach (Smithers Viscient, Wareham, MA) became members.
The following area meetings were held:
October 3, 2013 (SE-MA) – University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMD), North
Dartmouth, MA; Speaker: Madeleine Jacobs (ACS); ~80 attendees. Ms. Jacobs’s office
provided her travel and accommodation expenses for the event. The Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Dean’s Office of UMD provided total support for
food, space, and technical support. No financial support was needed from NESACS.
May 14, 2014 (SE-MA) – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Woods Hole,
MA; Speaker: Brian Jackson (Dartmouth College); ~80 attendees. PID Analyzers
provided external support for the travel and accommodation expenses related to Prof.
Jackson’s participation in the event. WHOI provided support for food, space, and
technical support. NESACS provided support of $951.47 for coffee and other liquid
refreshments.
October 23, 2014 (NH) – Dartmouth College (DC), Hanover, NH; Speakers: Seth Frisbie
(Norwich University), Brian Jackson (Dartmouth College); ~55 attendees. Cosponsored
by the Green Mountain Local Section (GMLS). Other support came from the following
Dartmouth College entities: Superfund; EPI, Geisel School of Medicine; Environmental
Health and Safety; Department of Chemistry. The contribution from NESACS was
$800.00.
October 28, 2014 (SE-MA) – Bridgewater State University (BSU), Bridgewater, MA;
Speaker: Daniel Nocera (Harvard University); ~120 attendees. Cosponsored by the BSU
Class of ’42 Lecture. No financial support was needed from NESACS.
The number of people attending these events and the reactions of the attendees that were
expressed on the surveys attached to the nametags indicated there is a great deal of
enthusiasm and support for NESACS activities outside the core area. In addition,
attendance by members of the Rhode Island Local Section and GMLS to the meetings
held adjacent to their territories showed that cross-border professional interactions are
welcome.
The experience has shown that each meeting event costs in the order of $2,000, mainly
for light refreshments before the early evening event and a heavier reception afterwards;
the range depends on the number of attendees and the nature of the food and drink
provided. Space, technical, and security costs were absorbed at all the meetings by the
host institutions. When the speakers came from afar, sufficient external funding to cover
533565449
9 of 19
travel expenses was sought and obtained. The LSAC grant ($1,500) and the NESACS
2014 budget line (#89) of $850 proved to be sufficient.
Recommendations from STF



The members of STF feel strongly that the events held in the SE-MA and NH areas of
our Section were very successful and should be continued in 2015 and be made a
permanent aspect of future programming.
STF recommends the establishment of area committees to carry on the effort to bring
programs and activities to areas of the Section outside its geographic core, as an
initial step to the possible establishment of formal NESACS subsections.
With the creation of SE-MA and NH area programming committees, STF should be
thanked for its efforts and formally disbanded.
Background information
 Funds for the area committees would be distributed from the NESACS budget line
(#89) in 2015, and would follow the usual committee budgetary process in
subsequent years.
 Membership in those area committees would come from those currently in STF who
wish to participate plus others who have indicated interest in serving.
 Jack Driscoll and Jerry Jasinski have indicated their willingness to chair the SE-MA
and NH area committees, respectively.
 For SE-MA, Jennifer Maclachlan, Paul Reibach, and Robert Howard are willing to
serve on the area committee and recruit others.
 For NH, Ruth Tanner will serve on the committee and help recruit others; Brian
Jackson and Ivan Aprahamian (Dartmouth College) have offered to serve.
 The plan is for each committee to help organize two formal meetings and two
informal science cafés annually in its area.
 Jack Driscoll (PID Analyzers) has committed $500 for SE-MA area programming in
2015. The area committees will have the responsibility to obtain external funding for
their programs and to charge registration fees, if necessary.
Motion: To establish a Southeastern Massachusetts (SE-MA) Area Committee and a
New Hampshire (NH) Area Committee as Special Committees for the purpose of
programming activities, meetings, and events for NESACS members, potential
members, students, and the general public.
 The motion was approved by voice vote of the Board.
2015 National Meeting Committee: S. Strah-Playnet
 Several groups are organizing events for the ACS meeting. This committee
will be coordinating the local activities. A unique NESACS calendar for the
National Meeting will be created.

Notes to the 2015 Budget
01/08/15 draft
Notes:
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 $75,530.60. The Budget committee
reduced the deficit to $29,082, after which the Trustees
supplied an additional $25,000 leaving a deficit of
$4132.60.
As done last year, the Budget Committee proposes to
fund a portion of Project SEED and a portion of the German
Exchange from the Hill Trust. In addition, Project SEED
will also receive funds from the Richards Trust.
14
Contributions to the operating account are projected
as $2000 from Merck and $6000 from the fundraising
committee. Other contributions are anticipated but
not for the general fund. Accounts 81, 87, and 88
anticipate fundraising. Programs such as the Process
Chemistry Symposium generate contributions which
directly offset expenses and are not reflected in this
budget..
15
Other Program Income consists of the offsetting income
from 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 an estimated $100,000
distribution from the Consolidated Trust.
51
Admin. Office expenses are based on 2014 and include
Constant Contact.
52
Treasurer. $5750 is for the CPA audits required by
Massachusetts and the remainder is for Treasurer's
expenses including Paypal charges of $600 and MA fees
of $140.
53
This is for work at Salem State. More may be required
since nothing has been spent out of 2014.
54
Website expenses, partially funded from the
Publications Trust.
