1. Why Change the Division Allocation Formula?
DAC wants to encourage divisions to engage more frequently on regional and international levels.

2. Proposed Division Allocation Formula
ACS Bylaws state that 9% of the ACS Member Dues Pool is allocated to the technical divisions.
Allotment Category Current Proposed
Base Amount: % 15%
Per Member: % %
Innovative Projects: % 10%
# of Attendees at NM Oral Sessions: % 25%
# of Members at NM: % %
# of Posters presented at NM: % %

3. Qualifying International Meetings
ACS-Sponsored or ACS-Affiliated by virtue of formal approval by the ACS Executive Director; this approval typically takes the form of an MOU or an official co-sponsorship.
Examples of such meetings include Pacifichem, Atlantic Basin Conference on Chemistry (ABCChem), and division-specific meetings such as the recently approved MOU between the ACS Biochemical Technology Division and the European Society of Biochemical Engineering Sciences.
DAC’s original plan restricted international meetings to those held outside the continental U.S. However, DAC voted in N.O. to lift that restriction. International meetings held in the U.S. now qualify.
