Acquisition Committee
The acquisition committee is a committee that strives to establish partnerships between (chemical) companies and the ACD. We offer advertising opportunities (banners, posters, posts) and special events. These partnerships are very important to the ACD, because without the companies we would lose a large part of our income.
ACTIE!
The Activities Committee (better known as ACTIE!) organises activities focused on sports and games. Examples include ice skating, swimming, and bouldering.
Active Members Appreciation Committee
The Active Members Appreciation Committee is responsible for appreciating active members. They do this by organising activities for ACD members who sit on one or more committees. Examples of activities include celebrating SinterCWAL, Jeu de boules, and a cocktail and mocktail evening.
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board provides solicited and unsolicited advice to the association's management.

AllYearsWeekend Committee
The AllYearsWeekend Committee organises an annual weekend trip to a city, usually within the Netherlands or just across the border in Belgium or Germany. The focus of this weekend is mainly on having fun, so no excursions to companies or universities are organised.
