A substantial amount of our programming and support is focused on high-school and college students to further their exposure to and training in the chemistry and biochemistry profession. Support for Project SEED to provide research experiences for students in high school to come to local universities on a 8 week program. To qualify, the American Chemical Society sets the participation standard that allocated funds to support socio-economically disadvantaged students. We had 3 students supported this year. 12000 0 A variety of membership activities were supported, including activities organized by the younger chemists committee (YCC), women's chemists committee (WCC), senior chemists committee (SCC) and lectures on the topic of emerging technologies. These activities were open to any and all members of the local section. YCC held four events, with partly engaged the DEIR theme. At all events, we offer support for hearing impaired attendees. 0 13804 Each year we support a recognition dinner event to acknowledge 50, 60, and 70 year ACS members and to recognize highly active, contributing members in the local section. Awardees and a guest are provided a free dinner. Engraved plaques are also given to the honoree. Coupled with NERM, we had a great turnout, hosting more than 70 members and guests. Additional programmatic/membership activities include a wide variety of activities and small events to benefit varying groups within the local section. We have programming for women chemists, younger chemists, and senior chemists. An example is our collegiate research symposium (that draws student from the 8 local institutions as well as several others from the western and central New York region). General expenses also covers section officer travel and administrative costs to run the section (both of which are very carefully scrutinized and vetted for proper section business activities). 0 3141 A standing program service that our local section supports is grant money for student travel. Each year we support deserving undergraduate students with travel grants to attend an ACS meeting to present their research at a professional conference. For local university students only, students receive travel grant monies to support undergraduate student travel to conferences, so long as it is a bonafide American Chemical Society supported event. We had 3 students supported this year from the local colleges and universities in the Rochester, NY area. 1950 0 16945 Colin Wright Section Chair 5 0 0 0 Elana Stennett Vice Chair 5 0 0 0 Mark Heitz Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Kimberly Chichester Secretary 3 0 0 0 Amber Charlebois Councilor 3 0 0 0 James Reynolds Alternate Councilor 3 0 0 0 David McCamant Member at large 3 0 0 0 John Pochan Member at large 3 0 0 0 Jian Liu Member at large 3.00 0 0 0 Maryann Mendel Member at large 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Dr Mark P Heitz SUNY Brockport 223 Smith Hall 350 New Campus Drive Brockport NY 14420 5853955586 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 34065 26031 31624 27370 18317 137407 8948 8766 23197 17210 13312 71433 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43013 34797 54821 44580 31629 208840 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 208840 1818 1416 1915 3105 3290 11544 0 0 0 0 0 0 1818 1416 1915 3105 3290 11544 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44831 36213 56736 47685 34919 220384 0.94762 0.95814 0.05238 0.04186 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 meals income for annual meeting events, money is put against costs incurred Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 $ 576.00: grants support for interpretek deaf/hearing impaired interpretation support $ 603.54: program support for the American Chemical Society program Chemistry Olympiad $ 1200.00: prizes and awards for volunteers and student awardees for the undergraduate research symposium $ 650.00: Undergraduate student research grants - travel to National ACS conference - 1 student $ 1,300.00: Undergraduate student research grants - travel to conferences for project SEED for socio-economically disadvantaged students - 2 students $12,000.00: Support for the American Chemical Society program Project SEED - research experiences for socio-economically disadvantaged students - 3 students supported Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 $ 49.00: Elections $ 91.00: 990 Online fee and New York State Charities filing fee $ 320.44: Councilor attendance at national meeting required by the American Chemical Society - registration fee, travel cost related items $ 3,210.51: Dining expenses - annual and recognition dinners (against the dining income), plus membership program events $ 220.01: Section membership program events, includes Womens chemist committee (WCC) and Younger chemists committee (YCC) $ 1,299.74: Section membership communications, includes website related maintenance fees $ 867.76: Recognition event support $ 927.80: Travel subsidies for councilors to travel to required meetings Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Net difference in NERM 2022 regional meeting income and expenses. While we had hope to close out all financial details in the Tax Year 2022, the National ACS Office of Regional Meetings was delayed in finalizing all meeting details. Thus, there was a carryover into the 2023 Tax Year, causing the observed difference. This coupled with market improvements in investments increased our total financial picture.
