Local Section Mandate
The Local Sections of the CIC bring together individuals who live, work or study in the same region and who share an interest in the chemical sciences and engineering, in order to encourage productive sharing of ideas. Local Sections provide opportunities for members to get involved locally by attending lectures, touring industrial plant facilities, providing mentorship and taking part in social and networking events.
Members are automatically assigned to a Local Section of chemical scientists and engineers in their geographic area. (In some regions where there is a high concentration of chemical engineers, there is a CSChE Local Section as well as a CIC Local Section.) Simply fill out your application for membership in one of the Constituent Societies of the CIC and you will be assigned a Local Section based on your home address. You will be informed of the events, activities and news of your Local Section via e-mail.
