The Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC) is a scientific society based in the United States which promotes advances in both basic and applied research in electroanalysis. Founded in 1984, SEAC has members at all education levels from academia, industry, and government. It provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and recognition of achievement in the electroanalytical community.
Origins
In 1984, a group of electroanalytical chemists formalized a new organization for scientists who were interested in the theory and application of
electroanalytical chemistry. The initial and primary purpose of SEAC was to select the annual recipients of the Charles N. Reilley Award in Electroanalytical Chemistry. The first award went to
