"Having served with Angela Wilson at NSF, I know her to be an enthusiastic and effective voice for Chemistry. Her commitment to research, education, and National service have provided Angela with a broad, deep perspective on science, and she is well-positioned to be a leader for the ACS as our community faces the tremendous opportunities and challenges that are sure to rise in the coming years. I will certainly be supporting her this fall."
