“I was honored to kickoff the Stroud Water Research Center Science
Seminar lecture,” said Goldfinger. “Axalta and Stroud have a great
partnership and a similar belief in the power of sustainable
initiatives, products and programs. Stroud’s tireless research on
freshwater systems; and Axalta’s low VOC and waterborne products and
customer sustainability awards program are examples of both
organizations’ commitments to help preserve the environment.”
Goldfinger’s speech was followed by a welcome and overview of Stroud’s
research from Dr. Bern Sweeney, Stroud Water Research Center Director.
The program proceeded with a lecture by John Jackson, Ph.D., Stroud
Senior Scientist of Entomology and Matt Ehrhart, Stroud Director of
Watershed Restoration. The pair discussed the Stroud Center’s important
work in the Delaware River basin, a watershed that more than 15 million
people rely on for drinking water and agricultural purposes.
“This lecture was a great opportunity for the Stroud Water Research
Center to share its decades-long science and discuss the health of the
Delaware River from New York to Delaware,” said Dr. Sweeney. “We are
grateful to our partners at Axalta for their support of our work and
their own conservation efforts.”
