The Division was incorporated in 1983 due largely to the efforts of Kathleen Taylor, the first female Chair of the Division. Although female Chairs were unusual up to that time, there were some precedents in other Divisions, most notably in the History of Chemistry Division. As listed in the Articles of Incorporation, the incorporating I EC Board of Directors comprised Lawrence A. Casper, Geoffrey K. Smith, Billy L. Crynes, Kathleen C. Taylor, William H. Flank, James D. Idol, Jr., James E. McEvoy and Norbert Platzer. The Division continues as an incorporated non-profit scientific organization, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
