The North American Catalysis Society (NACS)

Becoming a Member

Any person from North America having interests in supporting, promoting or encouraging the growth and development of the science of catalysis (as described in the opening paragraph of the By Laws), shall be eligible for Full Membership.

Persons from outside North America may indicate their interests in joining NACS as Associate Members. As Associate Members they do not have to pay dues, and they are not eligible to vote on elections and other matters pertaining to the NACS. Please note that the associate membership is for one year. At the end of the year, if you choose to remain as an associate member, please contact Professor Curt Conner, who is our Foreign Secretary, for renewal of your membership. His e-mail address is wconner@ecs.umass.edu.

There are two ways you can become a Full Member of the society:
(1) If there is a local club near you, you can become a member of that local club (contact Local Club officers in the folder Nat'l and Local Officers), which automatically makes you a member of the NACS. You can either contact your local club's treasurer or complete our contact form and we will route your request to the appropriate club.
(2) If you are not close enough to any local club, or if it is not convenient for you to attend the local club meetings, you can choose to become a "Member-at-Large" of the NACS. In order to do that, you need to send a check for the membership fee to the NACS Treasurer (see folder on Officers of the National Organization under Nat'l and Local Officers folder). The annual membership fee is $ 5 for non-students and $1 for students.
