Midland & CERM Awards Banquets

May 1, 2019 Local Section Awards:

  • 246 people attended
  • Over 80 awards presented
  • $260.24 over budget (but did give out 3 extra awards, covered engraving for MMTG)
  • Would be under budget if transferred dinner costs to participating committees for their attendees

($304). Only transfer cost of plaques, engraving, honor cords.

  • Positive feedback on event
  • Need to get images on website
  • 31 of the 56 high schools represented. Still an issue with rural schools and parochial schools.

June 5th CERM Awards Banquet:

  • 122 attendees
  • Issue with registration (vendor that national used missed some people that were not on the list

provided to me, lots of last minute sign-ups)

  • 14 awards presented, all but one committee member present to accept
  • Very positive feedback from Mr. Fitterling, Mr. Moolenaar and National Board
  • Issue with link from photographer

  • 2017: planning began with National Safety, Beyond Benign, AACT and

local educators.

  • Survey of over 100 educators in the region identified barriers, incentives

and topics of interest. Plan: to do remote broadcasts of some workshops

  • Funding from: LSAC (METT) grant for technology ($1750), UDM ($1000),

CHAS ($500), Environmental Division ($500), Corporations Associates ($2500). Technology assistance and venue ended up FREE.

  • 2YC3 tracks, Chem Ed + posters
  • Complete program by Jan, 2019; 5 satellites committed
  • Survey in March 2019 to publicize, ID issues and program attractiveness:

57 respondents : good content, problem with timing and publicity

  • Our own publicity attempted through AACT, local sections, state teacher
  • rganizations, STEM ecosystems, local school contacts.
  • Results so far: REGISTRATION ISSUES, 2 satellites; 57 +21 remote

Inaugural Regional Citizen Science Experiment Impacted more than 7,000 Students

  • Delivered 100 H2O Q Backpacks @ 76 schools + 18 youth orgs

– At least 75 students impacted for every backpack; can be used in 2019-2020 – Six water quality test equipment, instructions, and curricular support material neatly packaged in a backpack – Incorporates tests that utilize analytical, biochemical, physical, organic and inorganic chemistry principles – Interactive CROWD source data sharing map

  • ACS led as a outreach activity; for example, Midland Section, with Dow

Ambassadors, hosted three full day field trips with local scoots at Chippewa Nature Center (~ 900 kids)

  • 3rd party outreach initiatives including CMU Environmental Science Class, Little

Forks Conservancy, and H2O Connect. Connect to learn more

  • Developing environmental activity based curriculum to enhance the program

Preliminary Assessment

  • Overall, our team met it’s primary objectives
  • Strengths

– A good number of competent & dedicated volunteers & advisors – Engagement of the large chemistry companies in the region – Chemistry – friendly & receptive community – Strong external collaborations – Strong technical programing with many invited speakers – Strong outreach program

  • Improvement Areas

– More control of communication

  • Balance privacy of attendee data with being able to directly reach our guests
  • Improving the registration information when there is a full and complex event list
  • Designing registration to improve forecasting for amenities as well as designing for a

fuller range of budgets
