The Joseph Priestley Society

The Joseph Priestley Society of CHF was founded in 2002 to promote a deeper and more reflective understanding of important scientific, technological, and industry developments. The society has a special orientation to issues involving innovation and entrepreneurship. Members are experienced, senior individuals from a wide variety of large and small chemical companies, and also from the financial, consulting, and academic communities.

Meetings of the Joseph Priestley Society are held the second Thursday of each month from September through April.
To register for the next meeting, visit our Calendar of Events.
