DESCRIPTION:

February 24, 2022 /3BL Media/ The Whirlpool Foundation announced that it has named Deb O’Connor as Managing Director during its regular meeting on Jan. 20. O’Connor also serves as the Director of Corporate Reputation and Community Relations for Whirlpool Corp. In her role, she helps lead multiple programs supporting the local communities in which Whirlpool Corp. is located.

Volunteers working on the pledge support 16 different work streams focused on Inclusion and Diversity, Education, Housing, and Business and Community Support.
