Here's a previously unpublished blog post from October 2012 which never made it's way out of *Draft Mode* until I came across it today while working on my newsletter!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 .
