The 2023 ACS Southeastern Regional Meeting Awards Committee selected Scott Goode as this year's awardee for the E. Ann Nalley Award.

The purpose of the award is to recognize the volunteer efforts of individuals who have served the American Chemical Society, contributing significantly to the goals and objectives of the Society through their regional activities.

This award was instituted in 2006 by ACS Past President E. Ann Nalley as part of her presidential initiative to recognize ACS volunteerism. It is Dr. Nalley’s wish that the award continue in perpetuity at each regional meeting.
