Chinese-American Chemical Society (CACS)
Founded in 1981, the Chinese-American Chemical Society (CACS) is a nonprofit, professional organization with no political and regional affiliation. Membership is open to professionals and students in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields, and to individuals and corporations supporting the objectives of CACS.

- To create opportunities for our members to share professional experiences and to participate in joint research and business ventures.
- To provide a network for professional and career development.
- To provide career guidance and counseling for the younger people, particularly those interested in scientific and engineering careers.
- To encourage and recognize achievement in chemistry and chemical engineering, community services, and other chemistry-related ventures.
- To facilitate interactions between CACS and other scientific and professional organizations and communities.
