Chuck Peden elected to chair of ACS Catalysis and Surface Science Secretariat (ACS CATL)
At the recently held American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting in San Francisco, Chuck Peden was elected to serve as the 2008 Chair of the ACS's Catalysis Secretariat (CATL). The CATL Secretariat regularly organizes and cosponsors symposia at ACS National Meetings, but equally important is the Secretariat's role in providing a mechanism for integrating the activities of ACS divisions concerned with catalysis and surface science in order to encourage comprehensive coverage of the subject at ACS meetings.
