Valspar is a global paint and coatings leader with over 10,000 employees in 25 countries.  We'll see how the new Valspar Applied Science and Technology campus has integrated a 200 year-old building's unique features into a state of the art research and development facility.  We will also learn about how Valspar develops unique and innovative coatings for global customers that require very precise characteristics, such as those used on farm equipment.  Read an article here that highlights Valspar's renovation project.

Syrians have for a century welcomed over a million refugees from Armenia, Palestine, Iraq and other countries around the region. Now, thanks to a multiyear civil war, they are on track to become the source of the world's largest refugee population in a matter of months.  As their neighbors strive to accommodate the millions of Syrian refugees, the risk of allowing Syrians to become dependent on emergency aid and forming a "lost generation" remains.  Hosted by Sonia and John Cairns at the Towers Garden Room.
