Iota Sigma Pi Speakers Bureau

        Iota Sigma Pi is a national honor society for women that promotes professional development and personal growth of women in chemistry and related fields through recognition, public outreach, and the formation of supportive networks. The Iota Sigma Pi Speakers’ Bureau was set up to promote professional interactions between women in chemistry. The participants in the Speakers Bureau have expressed an interest in giving talks on various aspects of chemistry. Please contact the speaker directly for more information.
        The National Iota Sigma Pi is not responsible for any costs incurred by an individual while participating as a speaker for the Speakers Bureau. All financial reimbursements are handled with the host institution or group.
