Maclachlan named 2018 Outreach Volunteer of the Year by the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society
In an effort to recognize the immeasurable outreach efforts made by local section volunteers, the American Chemical Society's Committee of Community Activities (CCA) has established the Local Section Outreach Volunteer of the Year award program. Each local section has an opportunity to recognize one individual annually for demonstrating extraordinary outreach volunteer service within the section. Volunteers are only eligible to be recognized once every five years. In recognition of their exemplary outreach efforts, ACS provides each participating local section with a certificate and gift to present to the awardee during a local section meeting or another event. The program and some awardees will also be recognized in an issue of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) later this year. Jennifer Maclachlan is the 2018 Northeastern Local Section ACS (NESACS) Volunteer of the Year. Maclachlan has been involved in numerous public relations and outreach activities in 2017
