Preview - AOCS Annual Business Meeting and Keynote Address

As part of our “reformulation” of the AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo, the traditional AOCS Annual Business Meeting and Awards Breakfast held on Tuesday has been separated into two separate events for 2012. The Annual Business Meeting will now be held in conjunction with a luncheon on Monday, April 30, and to highlight AOCS award honorees there is a dedicated awards plenary session on Tuesday, May 1.

AOCS Annual Business Meeting/Luncheon
Monday, April 30, 12:00–1:00 pm in the Grand Ballroom (tickets NOT available on site)


AOCS President Erich Dumelin and AOCS Vice President Deland Myers are each delivering a brief address, Society and Fellow awards are presented, and routine AOCS business will be handled.

We will kick off the Businesses Meeting, Luncheon, and Keynote Address by debuting the AOCS "You Can" video. We hope it will motivate you to get more involved with AOCS!
