William (Bill) Cesario, has been a member of ACS for 35 years, initially joining because he was a consultant with a small CT new product/new business consulting firm, many of whose clients were major US/EU chemical and/or materials companies. Bill found that accessing past issues of C&E News and ACS’s proprietary materials, was very helpful in rapidly “getting up to speed,” in a client’s industry sector and its competitors. Often, such an industry scan would uncover activities, of which his client was unaware. He continued his ACS membership, following his exit from that company, because he found C&E News a valuable source of information about an industry, that is critical to mankind’s moving forward. He enjoys attending meetings, interacting with members and speakers, and having continued access to ACS’s proprietary resources.
