Dow Corning Blog: Discover. Serve. Innovate.
The Dow Corning Citizen Sevice Corps
by Laura Asiala
Dow Corning Corporation will launch it’s second Citizen Service Corps team this week, when it sends “Team Ujire” to south-west India. The team is comprised of 10 of Dow Corning’s finest–coming from Japan, China, Korea, Germany, Belgium, and the U.S. with manufacturing, logistics, laboratory, product development, marketing, sales, and a myriad of other experiences. For the past 9 weeks, they’ve been meeting on Wednesday morning (noon, or night–depending on where in the world they are located) to prepare themselves for this new adventure (that’s the “discover” part). They’ll be working with local organizations in Ujire on specific projects (that’s the “serve” part). And they’ll be looking at the world in a whole new way, to gain insight into market environment with which we have little familiarity today (that’s the “innovate” part). I am so proud to work for a company which makes these opportunities possible, and for my colleagues–for their dedication and hard work. Bon Voyage! Do good!
