A. short history or background about the organization
1. Started in 1961 by Dr. Arthur Livermor and future PACT President Father
William J Schmitt, who aimed to create a teachers association who will
aid to advance the country’s national development, social and economic
advancement through Chemistry. A constitution following the Californian
Chemistry Teachers Association was soon drafted after the society’s
founding along with a board of members and officers headed by Dr.
Mariano Pangan, as the acting President. Events to show how
laboratories can be used in teaching chemistry, seminars local and
internationally, and workshops have since been created to this day in an
effort to continue to pursue the goals of its founding members.
