He has organised around 25 SCI conferences and has strongly promoted early career activities during his time as a member of SCI. He has served on the Membership Committee and has been a trustee since 2014, and Chair of the Board of Trustees since 2015. During this time, SCI has made a great deal of progress, creating more impact while achieving a much more satisfactory financial position. Alan has worked with the Board and CEO to shape a more congruent and relevant SCI, based on a clear purpose and strategy, aiming to build a sustainable platform for the future. In his time as Chair of the Board of Trustees, Alan has focused on promoting a positive and progressive culture within a more effective system of governance, which in turn has allowed a more efficient and successful approach to SCI’s operations. |
SCI’s prestigious Society Member Recognition Award, the Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is given to members of the Society who have contributed significant and sustained service to at least one element in the SCI structure for ten years or more. This year, SCI recognised Dr Pauline Allen and Dr Steve East with this honour.

Dr Steve East is a highly valued member of the Fine Chemical’s Group and has been a committee member since 2001, serving six years as an Officer.
