LGBTQ+ & Allies Endowment

All organizations want to hire the best available talent, and that any engineer who is excluded from contributing represents an opportunity lost. This is why I helped to facilitate a gift from the Air Products Foundation. — Dr. Roger Whitley, Distinguished Engineer, Air Products

In 2017, Eric Reiner helped to launch the LGBTQ+ & Allies Endowment with a leadership gift.

Since then, more than 100 individual donors and Air Products joined to propel the endowment to $130K+ providing support to the AIChE LGBTQ+ Community.

The endowment provides long-term support to the AIChE LGBTQ+ Community and its allies, including programming that promotes inclusivity of LGBTQ+ engineers at all career stages, educational resources to help organizations of all sizes create safer and more inclusive workplace environments, and networking and social events to deepen community ties.

Dr. Roger Whitley, Distinguished Engineer at Air Products, said, "All organizations want to hire the best available talent, and that any engineer who is excluded from contributing represents an opportunity lost. This is why I helped to facilitate a gift from the Air Products Foundation."

Will you join Eric and Roger in supporting a truly diverse and inclusive community for chemical engineers with a gift today?

All donors will be recognized as Founding Donors of the LGBTQ+ & Allies Endowment.
