🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This October, East Harris County Manufacturers Association is standing with the many members of our community who have been touched by breast cancer, whether as survivors, caregivers, or loved ones.

Our manufacturing community is built on strength, resilience, and looking out for one another. This month, we're honoring that same spirit in support of breast cancer awareness.

We encourage everyone in our network to prioritize health screenings and support the people around them who are navigating this journey.

Together, we are stronger. 💗

At EHCMA, few things are more rewarding than watching our member companies show up for the communities they call home.

Earlier today, Shell Deer Park Chemicals' Caroline Alcantar sat down with Economic Alliance Houston Port Region’s Chad Burke, Deer Park Chamber of Commerce’s Kristi Claypool-Washington and EHCMA’s Executive Director, MaryJane Mudd, to talk about how the company invests in the neighborhoods where its employees live and work. From backing local organizations and forming community partnerships to encouraging volunteerism and supporting education initiatives, Shell continues to lead by example.

And Shell isn't alone in that commitment.

Each year, EHCMA members give more than $26 million and log roughly 280,000 volunteer hours across the region. But those figures tell only part of the story. Behind them are employees mentoring students, showing up for local nonprofits, sitting on community boards, turning out for neighborhood events, fueling education and workforce development, and stepping in wherever help is needed most.

EHCMA is grateful to represent companies whose impact reaches far beyond the plant gates. Through their time, resources and expertise, our members are shaping stronger, more resilient communities for everyone.

News Alert: EHCMA Board Chair Dirk Perrin on Leadership, Safety and CPChem’s Largest Plant (by Alliance)

EHCMA Board Chair Dirk Perrin on Leadership, Safety and CPChem’s Largest Plant (by BIC Alliance)
Thursday, September 10, 2026
Dirk Perrin grew up on a farm in rural Oklahoma, the first from his immediate family to leave the area and the first engineer in his family.

He arrived at the University of Oklahoma as a zoology pre-med student, switched to chemical engineering after his freshman year when he learned engineers had the highest acceptance rate into medical school, and then, early in his senior year, decided he was done with school and ready to work. A job offer from Phillips 66 in Pasadena, Texas finished the job.

"I got a job with Phillips 66 in Pasadena after I graduated and have never looked back," he said.

It was a great day at the Economic Alliance Houston Port Region Gulf Coast Industry Forum!

Our EHCMA Board Members and member company representatives were out and about throughout the morning, first connecting with students at the GCIF Student Breakfast, where they shared their career stories, experiences and advice with students from area schools. It was a great opportunity to encourage the next generation and give students a glimpse into the many career opportunities in our industry.

From there, EHCMA members joined the Petrochemical Leadership Panel for thoughtful conversations about the future of the petrochemical and manufacturing industries along the Gulf Coast.

A big thank-you to the Economic Alliance Houston Port Region for another great forum and to everyone who helped make the day such a success. We’re especially proud of our EHCMA members for showing up, sharing their experiences and helping build the future of our industry!
