The mission of the Committee on Local Section Activities (LSAC) is to "provide opportunities, resources, and networks to partner with and serve our diverse member communities." While LSAC is responsible for supporting local sections and their members in the US and Puerto Rico, we believe that all members benefit when they can engage and network with others in their local communities, whether they are in San Diego or Singapore. At ACS Spring 2024, LSAC reviewed and endorsed the Petition for Global Representation on Council. The petition expands representation on the American Chemistry Society Council to all ACS members. The petition will be voted on in Denver this fall, and LSAC supports its passage. As a committee, we feel that this petition as well as the recent actions to create an international district and the continued expansion of our international chemical sciences chapter and international student chapter programs are essential efforts
