Gesso - ClarkDietrich Cares

At ClarkDietrich, one of our organizational values focuses on leading a balanced life.

Within that balance is work, family, and community. At ClarkDietrich, community support is personal. Our employees contribute to their communities where we work and live. This program enables employees to devote one paid workday every year to volunteering at the community organizations they choose.
