Creating Commitment In Organizations By Linda A. Galindo One of the more difficult aspects of building an organization seems to be genera ting the commitment necessa ry for reliable, consistent results. If we can vi ew an o rga nization as a collection of people, each wi th a unique contributi on to make, then we ca n begin to c ulti vate th e ta lents that exist aroun t us.

NOBCChE '87 Is For Youl By James Evans,

Ge~eral

Finding The Right Chemistry Is Something We Do Very Well At ICI.

Chairperson, NOBCChE '87

Plans for th e 1987 National Annua l Meeting are well under way. By now eac h of you should have received your regi stration packet. You will have noted that we are designing a program to meet the anti c ipated needs of each attend ee. The program is being planned and worked by fourteen different committees. but we still need your help. We need ea ch of you to regi ster early. We need each of you to make your hotel re servations as soon as possib le. The Hotel Meridi en is a very popular meeting place, and the managem ent is on ly obligated to retain a bloc k of room s for us for a specified period of tim e. By regi stering early, you will ensure that you have your own room , and you will strength en our negotiating position witl1 th e Hotel for free perk s. Th e goal of your national lea ders is to see a co nference that attracts approx imately 500 persons and more than 200 tec lrni ca l papers. If we can generate that type of support within our memb ership (- 25% of th e mail i ng li st) . we will become not only att rac tive to indu stry as a source of potential

new employees, but also as an assoc iation to fill important scientifi c. indu strial and governmenta l committees . Tl1i s yea r, with your help, we hope to attra ct approx imately 40 compan ies to exhibi t with us. Next year we could double that number, if compan ies see that we're an organiza t ion on th e move. In summary, my message to you is twofold. First and foremost, thi s is your organi za tion. It is one that you can be proud of. but it sti ll needs your help. We need you to attend the I 4th National Annual Conference. We need you to give a t ec hnical paper. This is the basis of our credibility. We need you to use your personal co ntac t s to encourage your company, and oth ers, to exh ibit at the meeting. Let's make it happen. Let's make the 14th National Annua l Conference the yardstick tha t all future meetings can set as a minimum standard. Second , Jet's prepare to take our place as an orga ni za tion that influences th e path of chemi stry and chemi ca l engineerin g. Let's do it now! NOBCChE '87 is for yo u! See you in Sa n Fr<i ncisco.

Here at ICI , the right chemistry goes far beyond developing products that enhance the quality of life. It begins with creating a working environment which fosters innovation and excitement. An atmosphere which encourages talented people to combine their knowledge with imagination, bringing the ideas to life that have enabled us to build solid partnerships with our customers, and to maintain our position as a company that recognizes its responsibilities to all the communities that surround our facilities across the U.S. and around the world. At ICI, the right chemistry also means choosing our markets very carefully. We're making strides in some of the exciting areas of industry including: quality pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, specialty chemicals, electronics, aerospace and advanced materials. And our unparalleled commitment to research assures an even brighter tomorrow for our customers and for the people of ICI.

Creating Commitment hear the id eas and viewpoints of others. If we HAVE already made a decision, then the ac knowledgement of thi s allows us to move onto the next step . For organi1.ations who are ask ing themselves how to mo tivate the ir people, effective input sessions are vital. If we feel our idea s, suggestions or creativity are part of the decison -making or goal -setting process, we want to own the results produced. Individual s feel "empowered" and truly believe that their contribution makes a difference. Input sessions where true listening occurs allows us to discover each individual's unique contrib ution. We di scove r what excites our peo ple and work toward allowi ng them to be where th ey want to be. We empower them. Once a decision or spec ifi ed goal is established, how much tim e is devoted to explaining exactly what it means? Is it specific enough to allow th e creation of individual roles that meet the expectations the deci sion-maker or goal-creator had in mind? An interesting exercise might be to

continued from page one write out in deta il exactly what we mean by each term, phrase. and impli ed purpose in our decision or goals tha t will involve the participation of others. People need to know what is expected of them. Th e more specific we are, the more specific others wi ll be with us. Ultimately, I have found that what I generate in terms of commitment from others is directly related to how committed I am. My vision of progress and growth for our organization mean s nothing i f it remains where I can only HOPE others will see it and understand; in my head, with the res t of my ideas. If I am to enroll others in the commitment and unity of our organization, it becomes necessary to constantly create the invitati on for each ind ividual to create. and be responsible for. their own role. Furth er. I ca n provide an environment where decisions and / or goals involve and are implemented by, those willing to partic i pa te in th is manner.

Third Annual Western Regional Confab a Success By Gwendolyn L. Evans, Newsletter Editor, Western Region NOBCChE membe rs from the Sa n Fra ncisco Bay Area and So uthern Ca lifornia Chapters gat11ered in Irving, Ca lifornia, fo r th e Thi rd Annual Western Regi onal Meet ing, October 10- 11. Mr. Robert L. Countryman, Pres ident of t11 e hosting Southern Ca liforn ia Chapter, proc lai med tl1e meeting a success . Mr. countryman sa id th e theme, "Mino ri ty Education: th e Commitment Must Be Now," set a se rio us tone, the prog ra m amplified the the me, and the speakers proffered powerful messages fo r all to pond er. The day's act ivi t ies comm enced wi tl1 regiona l bu siness, wl1ich included chapter reports and a report of th e recent execu tive boa rd sum m it held in San Franc isco. Fo ll owing the opening sessi on there were two tech ni ca l presenta t ion s. Dr. John A. Watso n, Professor of Bi oc hemi st ry and Biophysics, Un iversi ty of Ca lifo rnia at San Francisco, disc ussed the regu lati on of droso phila HMGCoA ac ti vity. Mr. Clyde Beaird, a juni or biochemi stry maj or at Ca li fornia State at Los Angeles, talked abo ut th e c hemica l aspec ts of cancer c hemothe rapy. In a specia l sessi on follo wing the tec hni ca l pa pers, Mr. Clifford Gra ves, Director of Planning at IT Corpo ration, gave a presentati on on job op port uniti es in industry, spec i fic all y i n hazardou s waste manageme nt. Mr. Graves characteri zed haza rd ous waste management as a growing fi eld in whi ch tl1 e opportuniti es for chemi sts and enginee rs are tremend ous. He sa id we shou ld enco urage mino rity yo uth to explore t11 is field, whi ch has few barri ers, few role models, and an abundance of challenges. Si nce the generation of haza rd ous waste materials is so int rinsic to society, and since th e t rend in was te disposal suggests tha t offsi te d isposa ls will dim in ish in ti me in favo r of ons ite disposa l technology, Mr. Gra ves stro ngly beli eves tha t op po rt uni t ies in hazardo us was te managemen t will be opened fo r a long tim e and t hat minorit ies should be gui ded in that direct ion. Mr. Lee F. Browne, Director of Seco ndary Sc hool Relation s and Spec ial Stud ent Progra ms, Ca lifornia In stitute of Tec hnology, addressed the luncheo n asse mbly. In an effect ive ora torical presenta ti on, Mr. Browne painted a vivid

pict ure of where mi nori ties are in educat ion today and how stagnate wil l be ou r progress if mi no rity leaders do not become ac ti ve ly invol ved in the educati onal arena . We have to make demands about what kind of ed uca ti on we want fo r our children, and we have to make those demands loud ly and in numbers great enough to have an i mpact on the educat io nal syste m. Mr. Browne ad moni shed tha t it is inc umbent on min orities in positions of infl uence and powe r to work towa rd endi ng the subtle and overt d iscriminat i on and suppression i n the sc hool system that is our yoke today. The afternoon's ac t ivi t ies commenced with a sessi on on professi onal development. A pa nel of three focused on specific ite ms that can contribute to and enhance professional growt h. Mrs. Katy Bell, Place ment Manager and Ca reer Counselor at Paci fi c Bell , talked about effective ly prepa ri ng fo r interviewi ng and testing. Mr. Lloyd Be ll, Chem ist at "Wo rl d of Cu rl s," talked about developing and using the resum e as an effective tool fo r selling and promoting j ob skill s. Mr. Dashiell Meeks, P. E. , Ma in tenance Planning Supervi sor at Sa n Diego Gas and Elec tric Company, emphas ized that profess iona ls chart th eir growth by keeping track of key deci sion poi nts in their ca reer. If one has not rea ched a ce rta in goa l in hi s/ her ca reer path within a spec ifi ed t im e, he/she should then assess what prevented that accompli shment and make the app ropri ate change to continue career growth. Following th e Professional Developm ent session was a panel disc ussion on " Issues on Min ority Educat ion i n the 80's: Recruitm ent, Admi ssion, and Retenti on." Wit h emphas is on successfully educa ting yo ung peo pl e, th e pa nel of educa tors ad dressed th e problems at t he high sc hool and un ivers ity levels that thwa rt minority educa ti on and what m ust be done to overco me these barriers. Dr. Ruby Crema sc hi -Sc hwimm er, Pri nc ipa l of Lincoln Prepa ratory Hi gh Sc hool, gave a profile of wha t goes on in mi no rity hi gh sc hools. She ta lked about measu res she is ta king at Linco ln Preparatory to comba t the parents' va lues, whic h are often contra dic tory to val ues that Lincoln prom otes;

th e wo rk eth ics of teachers; and the poo r co mm unicat i on skills of the stud ents. Dr. Rich Tu rner, Di rec tor of Tu to ria l Service, Un iversity of California at Irvine, wh o l1 as been involved in re search on th e rec rui tment, admi ssion, and retention of m in ori tes, pro poses that the study habits and conseq uently t he retention of min oriti es can be greatly enhanced if th e t ra diti onal fa mily sup port mec hani sm is instit uted at th e uni ve rsity. Dr. Turner's resea rch shows that students stupy better when peo ple demonstrate acti ve interes t in th eir progress, and when they have a " family-like member" in whom to confid e. Dr. Wi lli am A. Lester, Jr .. Professor of Chem istry, Uni versi ty of Ca li fo rni a at Berkeley, spo ke to ri va ling relati onshi ps among blac ks at U. C. Berkeley that co ntri bute to low re tention rates. He notes that on the ave rage, blac k students do not support one another academically or soc ially and they vie for soc ial pop ularity. Dr. Leste r says that a black assi sta nc e prog ram is bei ng i nstituted at U. C. Berkeley to exa mine thi s problem. Meeting ac ti vi tes end ed with a clos ing banquet. Th e guest speaker was Mr. Willi s Meeks, Ulysses Project Manager. Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J PL). Mr. Meeks has worked with JPL fo r twenty years, fifteen of whi ch he has wo rk ed with interna t i onal progra ms for NASA. Mr. Meeks gave an ove rview of th e nation's space prog ra m and spoke spec ifi ca lly about the Ulysses Proj ec t. The Ulysses Proj ec t was created by NASA and t11e Eu ropea n Spac e Agency and ap proved as a mi ssion in 1978 for launch in 1983. Th e spacecraft Ulysses has not yet been launc hed , however. Mr. Meeks predict s a new launc h date of 1989 or I 990. Ulysses wi ll detect and meas ure cosmic rays coming from our ga laxy. It will spe nd fi ve years on it s exp lora ti on collec ti ng da ta t o bette r understa nd the Sun, which is one of our greatest i gnima ti c stars. Mr. Meeks spol1e of other program s in th e nat ion's space program: Galileo, which will orbit Jupi te r to provid e more i nformat i on tha n man has ever had on that planet; Magella n, which wi ll orbit Venus for a fi rst real look at th e planet; Comet Rend ezvo us, whi ch wi ll rendez-vo us with a comet,

ga thering data for two yea rs to understand cometary sc ience; Mars Observer, whic h wi ll revi sit that planet fo r more info nnat ion and detec ti on of life; and th e Inte rnat ional Solar Terrestrial Physics Prog ram , whi ch is a jo in t effo rt between Europe and Japan. Mr. Meeks says for the future, he sees a permanently staffed laboratory space sta ti on and peo pl e wa lking on the surface of Mars and other planets. His message is that the oppo rtuniti es in science are limitless and that we should direct our youth towa rd sc ience ca reers. The Thi rd Annual Wes tern Regional Awa rd was presented to Mr. Robert L. Co unt ryman for hi s outsta nding contribution to th e li felin e of th e So uth ern Ca li forn ia Chap ter. The host chapte r prese nted a co mmunity award to Mr. Andy Sl1aw, Manage r of Community Relations, TRW, Inc .. Redond o Beac h, California, for hi s co nt inued support of NOBCChE. Mr. Shaw is t rying to es tabli sh a form al program of suppo rt between TRW, Inc. and th e Southern California Chapter to help NOBCChE in its mi ssion to g ui de mino rity stud ents towa rd sc ience educa tion.

The Forum Series Focus for NOBCChE '87 Secondary School Development Committee Chairperson: Beverly Frenc l1 MIDWEST e REG ION CHAIR: CHAPTER: Twin Cities (Mi nn . St. Pa ul) Detroit Cincinnati - Dayton * Midland , Michigan * Indianapolis, Ind iana

Dr. Philip Merchant, Jr... is a Senior Staff Chemist and Technical (Group) Leader of the Demulsifier Marketing and Technical Service Group, at Exxon Chemical Company. He received his BS and MS degrees, with honors, from Texas Southern University, where he majored in Chemistry and minored in Mathematics. His Doctorate in Chemistry was earned, also with honors, at the University of Houston.

By Manuel Perry, Chairperson, Forum Serles A critical issue urgently in need of study is the nation's ability to supply the scientific aiid technical minority workforce of the futu re. This is an issue of importance to industry, school, and especially the minority community. Industry is concerned because the need for technical expertise of all races is increasing, the recru i tment pool of technically trained minority applicants is decreasing, the number of minority students going in to science and technology is decreasing, and there i s increased competition for talented young people of all races. Similarly, school, especially urban schools, worry about the relevance of the material being taught in the classroom to meet the needs of minority students for several reasons: (I) There has been a decrease in the number of minority students in science and technology classes. (2) Fewer minority students are graduating from

colleges with technical degrees. (3) Minority students have little information available about science and technical careers. Additionally, the minority community needs to be concerned, because minority students are dropping out of sc hools in increasing numbers, work of the future is changing and many minority student s are not being prepared for these ca reers, and minority enrollment in penal in st i tut ions is growing faster than minority enrollment in colleges and training inst itutions. At the NOBCChE National Annual Conference April 13- 18, 1987, in San Francisco, a se ries of forums will be presented for attendees to discuss the impact and possibili t ies of these changes on minority education and the minority community. The forums have been designed to provide members an opportunity to focus on proactive strategies to prepare min,)rities for tommorrow's changes.
