“What sets the Diamond Symposium apart from other events is how it showcases Dow employees embodying the work culture of the company. It’s evident that everyone puts their best foot forward and are extremely supportive of each other. Dow focuses on Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion which allows the company to excel. Everyone has their own way of solving a problem but it’s the differences in everyone that make an effective collaborative team; many solutions to one problem.”

As a result, I have a better understanding of the chemical process and it allows me to go into meetings or troubleshooting with more confidence than at the beginning of my career”
