New CAs Join IUPAC

The Kuwait Chemical Society has embraced the challenge set by the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) and has successfully engaged two industrial companies to join IUPAC as Company Associates (CAs):

• Kuwait Catalyst Company (Shuaiba, Kuwait)
  Contact: Mr. Ali A. Al-Othman <[email protected]>
• Kuwait Cement Company (Safat, Kuwait)
  Contact: Mr. Mohammad Omar Sayed

Last spring, COCI campaigned for the CA program and challenged its members to raise at least two new CAs. Khalidah Al-Dalama <[email protected]>, from the Kuwait Chemical Society (KSC) and National Representative on COCI, lost no time actively recruiting in her region.

Founded in 1982, the KCS has prominent activities on both the local and international levels. On the local level, it embraces, sponsors, and organizes meetings, workshops, and lectures in Kuwait in many fields that might be of interest to chemists, and other professionals, in cooperation with other public-serving societies and governmental or private sectors.

It also sponsors other social activities that are enjoyed by its members. On the international level, delegations and representatives of the society have been attending major conferences and meetings, dealing with chemistry and chemical issues, that are organized or held by several international bodies in which the society is an active member.
