Presidential ACS Webinars on Entrepreneurship Training
Virtual Symposium at ACS 2021 Fall National Meeting
ACS Webinar Series on Entrepreneurship Training

Bylaws, Shareholder Agreements and Much More

As scientists and engineers, we all know that innovation is the engine of growth for a society.
The key is to translate these innovations and discoveries from bench to market. This requires
entrepreneurial and business skills not usually taught in graduate schools. The goal of these ACS
webinars is to provide an educational program to train more chemists and chemical engineers on
entrepreneurship and business management. In this way, we can stimulate innovation, promote
new enterprises, and recruit and retain members who see innovation and management as integral
to their professional goals.
These webinars are co-produced with ACS Industrial Member Programs, ACS Corporation
Associates (CA), the ACS Committee on Technician Affairs, and the ACS Divisions of Small
Chemical Businesses (SCHB) and Business Development and Management (BMGT). Last year
we held two successful ACS webinars; you can view them at the following links:
1. “Starting a Company: Do You Need a Business Plan?”

2. “Starting a Company: Where Do You Get Funding?”
