Parallel with the Puget Sound Section’s celebration of Women’s History month, we also saluted Dr. Sheri Tonn who was named Volunteer of the Year (VOTY) in the Puget Sound Section. She joins 25 other individuals across ACS who were recognized in a recent issue of the C&EN. The local section is very fortunate to have such an amazing leader and community advocate for over 30 years. Congratulations Sheri and THANK YOU!
The following is from the award citation at the ACS website. “Dr. Sheri Tonn has been a member of ACS for over 50 years, with her volunteer work beginning as an undergraduate student and continuing as an active volunteer and leader in the Puget Sound section. Her commitment has been exemplary, particularly through her outreach community activities, serving in a myriad of local section roles and being a champion for diversity, sustainability, and the environment. Sheri’s work embodies the vision and mission of ACS not only through her leadership work in the local section but also her community involvement that stems from her passion for a healthy planet for all.”
