Nalco celebrated seven years of supporting Water For People during a May reception in Naperville.

Several WFP officials, including CEO Ned Breslin and Board Chairwoman Elisa Speranza, were on hand to recognize a total of more than $1.2 million in financial support from Naperville-based Nalco and the Nalco Foundation, as well as the employees who volunteered for trips with WFP’s World Water Corps.

Nalco CEO and Chairman Erik Fyrwald recognized a special visitor, former Nalco executive Bill Roe, currently CEO of Coskata in Warrenville, who originated the Nalco relationship with WFP in 2004. Nalco Chief Marketing Officer Mary Kay Kaufmann reviewed the history of the Nalco/WFP relationship and three Nalco employees. Naperville resident Lisa Wesoloski, Rob Henderson and Jason Fues each recounted the work they had done on water-quality testing and program monitoring trips with the World Water Corps in 2009 and 2010.
