Chemical Marketing & Economics Group

CM&E is a topical group of the American Chemical Society’s New York Section. ACS, founded in Manhattan in 1876, is the largest scientific society in the world with over 160,000 members.

CM&E focuses on exciting global trends, vibrant multi-disciplinary networking and actionable insights, by organizing monthly luncheons and webcasts in midtown NYC where thought leaders present original research and cutting-edge outlooks on business, economy, and technology in energy, materials & life science. CM&E audience includes professionals from industry, investment, academia, government, media and supranational organizations.

CM&E was established in 1954 by an ACS NY steering committee that included Vick Chemical Company (acquired by P&G), Allied Chemical and Dye (Honeywell), Celanese Corporation, The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter (ICIS), and American Cyanamid (BASF, Pfizer and Cytec). The inaugural speaker was the president of Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company (Dow Chemical).

Chair's Note: Nominate a Leader by 6-25-12

Leaders propel progress in all facets of life including technology, business and investments. To recognize outstanding leadership, CM&E has crafted another exciting initiative. On December 6, a date of symmetry: 12-6-12, we will hold the 3rd Annual Chemical M&A Review & Outlook and give the First "CM&E Award for Leadership" to advance chemistry for the benefit of Earth and its people. Nominate a leader using the Award Nomination Form .

The year 2012 is also the backdrop for CM&E's celebration of its 58th Anniversary and the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. Please come and bring friends to our Anniversary celebration in the same luncheon of December 6.

Thank you for helping us increase membership sixfold, double attendance, expand the emailing list to 5,000 and strengthen ties with affiliated groups with 200,000 members in the last 3 years. Using its Blueprint for Excellence CM&E is now a preeminent ACS New York group that advances the magic of chemistry.

We invite you to sharpen your knowledge and skills by attending our luncheons or joining the webcasts and watching them at your convenience. Meet our Board of Directors and tell us about topics, speakers and how to serve you better.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Calling All Members: Rekindle Science Education

The USA ranked 27th among the world's 29 wealthiest countries in the proportion of science and engineering college graduates. Of the $300 Billion in annual donations, 13% goes into education and a minor part of that goes into science. CEOs cannot find enough science and engineering graduates in USA. How can we turn this around? See Science Education and learn how ACS helps science at the local, national and global level.
