Perhaps the easiest way to ensure that once a chemist is a member of the ACS, they remain a member is to offer ACS life memberships. After all, what binds us together is not necessarily what we work on now. Instead, it is the way we think about solving problems from a molecular perspective. In the article, “ACS: Your brick-and-mortar and virtual network all in one” [C&EN 96:10, 34 (2018)], I argued that this commonality among our very diverse membership is the key to the value proposition for being members. So, if we can be chemists for life, why can’t we also be ACS members for life? I appreciate that there are challenges to taking this vision to reality because we must work out the finances of such an offer, and we need to clarify the rights and responsibilities of life members. If elected, I would therefore champion an ACS for Life Task Force charged to construct an implementation plan that would allow members to truly be engaged with the ACS throughout their life.
