Perhaps the easiest way to ensure that once a chemist is a member of the ACS, that they remain a member, is to offer ACS life memberships. After all, what binds us together is not necessarily what we work on now. Instead it is the way we think about solving problems from a molecular perspective. In the article “ACS: Your brick-and-mortar and virtual network all in one” [C&EN 96:10, 34 (2018)], I argued that this commonality among our diverse membership is the key to the value proposition for membership. If we can be chemists for life, why can’t we also be ACS members for life? I will champion an ACS for Life Task Force working in support of our membership teams to construct an implementation plan for lifetime memberships that ensures the stability of our financial position.
