CCAI Establishes Education Foundation
It's a non-profit charitable organization established to support education and training in the industrial finishing and coatings arena.
The Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI) formed the CCAI Finishing Education Foundation (CCAIFEF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established to support education and training in the industrial finishing and coatings arena.
Education is a key pillar of CCAI’s mission. This led to the formation of the foundation, which the group says will develop and deliver effective and affordable educational and training opportunities that support the industrial finishing and coatings industry.
“Through CCAI’s Finishing Education Foundation, we will expand our reach into educating the industry, and work to recruit the next generation of employees,” says Anne Goyer, CCAI executive director.
Programs that will benefit from the foundation support include Workshops for Warriors, Women in Finishing, the association’s scholarship program, online education and more.
Technical training seminars are one
of many educational programs to benefit
from CCAIFEF’s support and funding.
CCAI and CCAIFEF will work closely together to develop programming and secure funding to support the foundation’s mission. Leading this effort are the officers of CCAIFEF’s founding Board of Directors:
• President, Sam Woehler, George Koch Sons
• Vice President, Dr. Victoria Gelling, Sherwin-Williams
• Secretary/Treasurer, James Malloy, Kolene Corporation
