About the North Jersey Section of the ACS
The North Jersey Section is the second largest section of the American Chemical Society in the country. The vibrant programming and the year-round activities within our section, for example about 60 meetings involving thousands of members last year, are possible due to the many members who volunteer their time and energy to the mission of our section.
