Akron, OH – The Rubber Division announces a free webinar on Global Economic Challenges hosted by Paul Hodges on July 25, 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET.

In this webinar, Paul Hodges, a global expert on the chemicals industry with the World Economic Forum, will focus on two key challenges facing the chemical industry. Geopolitical issues are rising up the agenda and replacing economics as a key driver for decisions and companies are having to adjust to the end of the two key “dividends” – the “peace dividend” and the “demographic dividend” – that have underpinned global growth for the past 30 years. This presentation will be followed by a Rubber Division, ACS update including an introduction to our 2025 Secretary candidate. This webinar will take place on zoom and is free for everyone.
