Advancing professionalism: The Henry Hill award

PROF 28

E. Ann Nalley, annn@cameron.edu, ACS Past President, Professor of Chemistry, Physical Sciences Department, Cameron University, Lawton, OK 73505
Henry Hill was one of the early pioneers of professionalism in chemistry. When the word professionalism was considered unprofessional. He with a few other dedicated chemists kept the issue on the front burner. Unfortunately he did not live long enough to see the fruits of his work, but before he died, he became President of the ACS. He used his influence at the highest level to promote professionalism for chemists. Since 1986, the Division of Professional Relations recognizes every year a person who in the spirit of Henry Hill promotes the advancement of professional relations. This presentation will give a short summary of the past winners of the award and will highlight their activities.
