| Howard is a great proponent of the ACS committee system. He began his service in 1979 on the Meeting and Exposition Committee. In the mid 90's when he served on ConC (Committee on Committees) he was their representative to the Chemical Technicians and the Committee on Minority Affairs. His Minority Affairs activities really crystallized in 1999 when he organized a program called Kid Vention which pulled together members from his local Santa Clara Valley section and his new division, CHAL (Chemistry and the Law). This program has lead him to the Intel ISEF where today he is a member of the organizing committee bringing the Fair back to San Jose in 2010! If Outreach has a dark side for Howard, it is brown. Howard, CHAL and chocolate have been a fixture at SciMix for about the past 10 years! Howard really has a life outside of ACS. In the mid ‘90's he became active with fundraising and raised money to renovate the science building at Geneva College. Other areas of outreach involve his genealogy interests, so he joined SAR (Sons of the American Revolution), and became program chair for the local branch, He even began giving talks in the Division of the History of Chemistry! He is a member of several typical professional societies besides ACS; i.e. the BAR, SCPLA, and most recently was elected to become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry! |
