Celebrating 100 Years!
2023 marks the centennial of the IL-IA Section! The Section started as a Chemists' Club in 1917 in Rock Island and joined the ACS in 1923. While the Section has changed throughout the past 100 years, it has remained focused on the "encouraging the advancement of chemistry in all its branches." As we enter our hundredth year, we remain focused on this purpose as we plan events and partnerships. We look forward to celebrating with you throughout the year!
