Awards for Service and Inspirational Award
The awards for service and inspirational Award will be open for nominations soon. An email will be sent to all Chairs of member networks committees inviting them to submit nominations. However, everybody can nominate anybody.
 
Local to You Career Consultations
The Royal Society of Chemistry team of qualified careers specialists will be in various different regions offering free one-to-one, confidential consultations on any aspect of career management.
For those of you who have a careers visit booked in your section, Laura Woodward, will have been in touch to ask you permission to share the Local Section details on the email invite that goes to members.  By doing so, we can provide additional exposure to members in your section.  The careers team in turn will also be happy to share and highlight any events you are running.

Networks Newsletter online
This newsletter including additional information from other departments is also available online.
We are aware that some of our members have had issues receiving emails sent through our maxemail system and this is being addressed. For the time being to ensure that all of our volunteers have access to the information in the networks newsletter it will now also be publicly available on MyRSC . Please feel free to encourage other members of your committee to read the newsletter online.
 
We welcome any feedback you have on what you would like included in this newsletter; please email any suggestions to networks@rsc.org.
 
Kind regards,
The Networks Team
Fiona, Nic & Stephanie
