Celebrating ACS’ 150th Anniversary

Congress recognizes 150 years of ACS’ national service

In celebration of ACS’s 150th anniversary, Congress has passed a resolution recognizing and commending the Society for its years of service to the U.S. The resolution detailed the work done by ACS advancing the chemistry enterprise through our support of innovation and research, and dissemination of scientific knowledge through our publications and programs. The resolution also recognizes that the challenges the world faces today “demand collaborative, science-based solutions, with providing a critical foundation for such advancements to ensure continued American leadership in science and innovation.” In addition, this resolution affirms the value Congress places in the promotion of STEM education and expanding opportunities for all students.
                                                   READ THE FULL RESOLUTION


Take a look at the ACS150 Playbook! Inside, you’ll find everything you need to celebrate ACS’ 150th anniversary and highlight our theme of Chemistry is Everything throughout 2026 — guidelines, best practices, templates, tools, and tips — to help you craft content that connects and inspires.
