In follow-up to our innovative educational partnership with Air Liquide Corporation in 2011 and 2012, the LEH is pleased to announce that the company will again fund PRIME TIME Family Reading Time in Plaquemine, Louisiana in the fall of 2014. “We are delighted and excited to bring a PRIME TIME program to Plaquemine this fall. I can’t think of a better way to strengthen Air Liquide’s presence and involvement in the local community, while also helping to make a difference in the long-term, positive, educational outcomes of children and families in Iberville Parish,” stated Christine George, V.P., Mississippi River Pipeline System.

“The LEH is very pleased to be entering into a new, more comprehensive relationship with one of Louisiana’s most educationally minded companies,” added Dr. Jeff A Hale, LEH Vice President for Institutional Advancement. “On behalf of the many children and families that will benefit from this Plaquemine program, I want to express my sincere thanks to Christine, as well as her predecessor, Luke Aass, now V.P. for Operations Control in Houston, and also Michael Rosen, the company’s V.P. for Communications & Public Affairs.” Air Liquide offers industrial gases and related services to a variety of customers including those in large industry (refining, chemicals, energy, and metallurgy), industrial merchant (automotive, manufacturing, food, pharmaceuticals, technology and research), electronics, and healthcare marketplaces (for more information, see: www.us.airliquide.com.)
