American Inventor Charles F. Kettering established the Foundation in 1927 “to sponsor and carry out scientific research for the benefit of humanity.” Inspired by the open-mindedness and creative philosophy of its innovative founder, the Foundation’s research has gradually shifted to focus on democracy, particularly the role of citizens.

Our guest Speaker will continue our Kettering Rotary series on "Infrastructure."

Welcome, John! And thank you, Tim McCrate, for this Infrastructure Series, and arranging John's visit to our Club!
