Stephen Kelly, President and General Manager of Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd (Oxy Qatar), announced support for American School of Doha’s (ASD) 25th Anniversary celebration.
Oxy Qatar has a long history of support for ASD, including volunteer representation on the school’s Board of Trustees and Board of Directors. Kelly serves as a Trustee and Mike Starrett, Health, Environment and Safety Manager for Oxy Qatar, is a member of the Board of Directors. Oxy Qatar was one of the first corporations to support the founding of the school.
ASD Director Dr Deborah Welch, welcomed Kelly and Starrett to ASD’s campus. She stated: “Oxy Qatar’s support of American School of Doha throughout our 25-year history is greatly appreciated. The recent donation will enable us to plan anniversary events that recognise the accomplishments of ASD and the school’s contributions to Qatar, and acknowledge the support of corporations such as Oxy that have been so vital to the school’s success and the future of our students”.
Kelly commented: “Oxy Qatar is proud of its longstanding support for ASD. Through the education of many of our employees’ children over the years, we have witnessed and indeed benefited directly from the high-quality teaching and facilities offered by the school. As we celebrate 25 years of history, we also look forward to the future of ASD, which we are certain will continue to play an important role in serving the diverse communities of Qatar.”
Oxy Qatar’s most recent contribution will support ASD’s 25th Silver Anniversary celebration, which will take place in November 2013. Plans include honouring the Founders of ASD featuring a dedication of a Founders’ sculpture, PTA Gala, concert, establishment of The ASD Alumni Association, time capsule, Students Art Exhibition, golf tournament, and other special events.
