The C-Change Conversations are scientific and nonpartisan and will answer the important questions about climate change. It promises to be scientific-based, nonpartisan, non-emotional and hopeful as to what people can do!
A Question & Answer session will follow the presentation.

In 2017 Hetherington retired from a 31-year career that began with National Starch and Chemical Company and ended at AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry, both global specialty chemicals concerns. His career spanned technologies such as adhesives, polymers and food ingredients, customers like PepsiCo, Monsanto and Procter & Gamble, and included nearly 1.5 million miles of travel across four continents. He addressed diverse markets such as personal care, packaging and foods and served in functions such as marketing/sales, financial planning, and business management.
Hetherington’s passion ultimately became innovation, including the leadership qualities, processes, and training needed for innovation projects impacting hundreds of people in different functions and locations around the world. Hetherington graduated Beta Gamma Sigma from the NYU Stern School of Business MBA program in 1989 where he majored in Finance and Economics. He received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Lafayette College in 1984. He has served on local charitable boards and is currently president of the board of trustees of Raritan Headwaters Association, which serves as a water quality watchdog of almost 500 square miles of northern New Jersey. Hetherington first encountered C-Change Conversations in the fall of 2017 when his wife, Lesley, invited him to attend a meeting of the Garden Club of Somerset Hills, where Kathleen Biggins presented “Climate Change 101.” Kathleen asked if there was anyone interested in helping her reach more people with non-partisan, science-based information about climate change. Hetherington raised his hand. He is passionate about delivering the Primer because he knows that unless we together act more decisively, Lesley’s and his adult children and their future families, as well as millions of others around the world, will pay an increasingly high price for a warming planet.
