On Martin Luther King Jr. Day and every day, we celebrate the power of all we can accomplish when we come together for a common purpose. In recognition of MLK Day, our Chemours Black Employee Network hosted a day of programming and service for our team members to participate in at the Chemours Discovery Hub. The event featured a keynote from Dr. Aaron Bass, CEO of EastSide Charter School – a Chemours ChemFEST program partner – spoken word poetry from local poet Sharon Wilson, remarks from Deborah Reeves of the United Way Delaware, live music from The Smooth Show Band, and volunteer opportunities with the Girl Scouts and other local organizations.
“I enjoyed spending time with so many of my Chemours colleagues as we helped introduce the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to our local Girl Scouts. And I want to thank Dr. Aaron Bass, CEO of EastSide Charter School for his inspiring words as our keynote speaker. We hope days like this will spark a lifelong passion for science and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. I am grateful to everyone who joined us in honoring Dr. King’s legacy and making a meaningful difference in our community.” – Mark Newman, President & CEO, Chemours

“It was a pleasure to host the Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service event and celebration at our Chemours Discovery Hub today.
