ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses, Natick, MA 01760-4205, United States The ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses SCHB provides entrepreneurial programming and resources at ACS national and regional meetings. SCHB reaches out to its members who currently own and operate businesses in the chemical and related sectors, as well as to others who are considering their own startup. In 2012, SCHB partnered with ACS local sections to bring entrepreneurial programming to local section meetings. At the ACS 246th national meeting in Indianapolis, September 2013, two ChemLuminary Awards were bestowed on SCHB for outstanding collaboration between a Division and Local Section. Also, at the Indianapolis meeting, SCHB hosted networking lunches for its members and the meeting speakers (see links below for the ACS Dallas luncheons*). SCHB actively participates in the Chemical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council (CIEC), which fosters cooperative efforts between other ACS Divisions whose charters include entrepreneurship and business-related missions. Coupled with programming and events at the national, regional and local level, and a strong social media presence on Linked-In, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and the ACS Network, as well as a monthly member eblast, SCHB keeps its members abreast of entrepreneurial resources, networking opportunities, and opportunities to advance in the market.

Title: ACS Entrepreneurial Resource Center Showcase East: Guide to a successful entrepreneurial event
Presenting author: Jennifer Maclachlan
Abstract Body: The mission of the ACS Entrepreneurial Resource Center is "to advance chemical entrepreneurs and provide resources to members with a practical business plan and/or start-ups." The Showcase East Organizing Committee asked me to join and help organize this event. My expertise was augmented by the resources of and support from the ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses (SCHB), Northeastern Local Section (NESACS), and Committee on Public Relations and Communications (CPRC). This poster illustrates the success of the ACS Entrepreneurial Resource Center Showcase East event, which occurred April 9, 2014 in Waltham, MA and emphasizes the importance of a truly collaborative team with clear and consistent channels of communication, goals, and distribution of tasks. The ACS Entrepreneurial Resource Center Showcase West event will take place on August 14, 2014, at the ACS 248th national meeting in San Francisco.
SCHB at SCI-MIX Monday August 11, 2014 8pm
Title: SCHB offers networking opportunities and benefits for small chemical businessesAbstract Body: In our thirty-fourth year, our mission remains the same: to aid in the formation, development and growth of small chemical businesses. We do this by continuously providing relevant programming and social events at ACS national and regional meetings for attendees who currently own and operate their own small chemical businesses as well as for those who are considering it. In 2012, SCHB began entrepreneurial programming with the Southeastern Pennsylvania (SEPACS), Northeastern (NESACS), and Georgia Local Sections. In 2013, with the assistance of an ACS IPG, SCHB arranged programming at other scientific society meetings, including AAAS, APS, and CLEO. In 2014, in collaboration with PROF, we hosted networking lunches for our speakers, member, and other interested persons. In 2015, SCHB will sponsor several symposia at Pacifichem. At this 2014 San Francisco meeting, SCHB invites you to attend our technical sessions, meet old friends and new connections at our reception, visit our expo booth and "discuss businesses," and join us for lunch. After the meeting, stay in touch with SCHB member via Linked-In, Facebook, Twitter and on the ACS Network.

ENFL Session Advances in analytical methods for petroleum upstream applications*
*We were invited to give this talk
Title: Analytical methods for various in-field measurements of methane and arsenic in hydraulic fracturing operations
Presenting author: Jennifer Maclachlan
Abstract Body: There are occupational and environmental health and safety issues related to petroleum upstream applications such as those associated with hydraulic fracking including chemical exposure of workers during hydraulic fracturing operations as well as the wastewater, methane leaks from fractures in the shale and leaks into the ecosystem including but not limited to groundwater, marshes, drinking water. In this paper, we will illustrate how our analyzers can achieve the following applications: methane in air, methane leaks from the shale, methane in water using a static headspace method, hydrocarbon contaminants in the hydraulically pumped water, arsenic in the water since this is a common pollutant in shale and the 20th most common element in the earth's crust and product analysis: the BTU content of the gas needs to be determined. We will discuss the analytical methods and various in-field instrumentation for monitoring these problems utilizing our portable GC-FID, our low cost hand-held FID which is ideal for leak detection and our R&D100 award winning arsenic in water analyzer. A modification of our portable gas chromatograph configuration results in a technique for measuring the product gases produced by fracking. An analytical method for each of the methane applications as well as the arsenic in water application will be described.

#NERM12~a @pidgirl's eye view: The lost post
Here's a previously unpublished blog post from October 2012 which never made it's way out of *Draft Mode* until I came across it today while working on my newsletter!
The 38th Northeast Regional Meeting (NERM) of the American Chemical Society hosted by the Rochester, NY Local Section September 30-October 3 2012, was my first opportunity to organize and facilitate three half day technical sessions for the ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses. Earlier this year I organized a social media symposium and SCI-MIX for SCHB at the Fall National Meeting and participated as a speaker in the True Stories of Success of Chemical Entrepreneurs in San Diego at the Spring National Meeting.
At NERM for 2 minutes and already found the ACS President! At Science is FUN science teacher workshop. —L to R with George Ruger and Bassam Shakhashiri, ACS 2012 President.
I stuck around before checking the symposium room for SCHB banner setup because I love listening to Bassam speak and decided to live tweet from the Science Teacher Workshop.
After setup while on the way to the opening reception I ran into Tom Gilbert from my Local Section. While chatting with him I told him about the upcoming NESACS Cape Cod Science Cafe~The Chemistry of Wine Event that my father and I had organized. Tom asked me to send him the information about the event and he even ended up making the trek to Cape Cod and attending!
As I circulated around the room I saw Bill Suits who introduced me to Andy Jorgensen. Turns out Andy is an old HNU PID customer of mine! I asked him if I could get a picture with him and post it on my company Facebook page and Tweet it. Andy agreed!
Sidebar: Bill and I served together on the ACS National Committee on Public Relations and Communications in 2011 but he and my father *go way back*. Bill used to sell the HNU PIDs back when he worked at Varian as a Chromatography Specialist.
Monday morning kicked off with the SCHB flagship programming Best Practices for Entrepreneurs led by Andrew Basner from Syracuse speaking about his experience with the NSF-I Corporation program followed by the importance of intellectual property protection with local area patent attorneys from Heslin Rothenberg Farley and Mesiti PC. This particular session was very well orchestrated with three patent attorneys from the firm speaking on their expertise of topics ranging from copyright protection, trade secrets, patent protection and how all of these can be the determining factor in the success or failure of a small chemical business. This was followed by a facilitated panel discussion led by Bonnie Charpentier, American Chemical Society Board of Directors, Director, District VI
