If this date and time presents a challenge for your schedule, we could also accommodate your keynote during another portion of GlobalChem. For nearly 40 years, the ACC has hosted GlobalChem to serve as the premier policy and regulatory platform where government officials, industry experts, academia and stakeholders gather annually to exchange ideas, insights, and expertise on domestic and international chemicals management. GlobalChem's theme this year is focused on "Empowering Chemical Innovation through Regulatory Clarity" and we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you about the EPA's Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative, and how stakeholders can best work with EPA as it carries out its mission. GlobalChem has historically drawn 250 - 300 attendees and participants regularly have included EPA leadership and career level staff; representatives from other federal agencies like the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy; as well as global regulatory representatives from Canada, Europe, Asia, India and Latin America. Representatives of the trade press also typically attend. We have valued EPA's engagement in previous GlobalChem conferences and hope you can join us. If we can provide you or your staff with any additional information, please contact me or reach out to Dr. Kimberly Wise White, Vice President of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs (email: v --k-- r e rica n c - .7; phone: 202-249-6707). We look forward to hearing back from you on your availability to join us at GlobalChem 2025.
