Tennessee Valley Authority Executive Vice President and Chief External Relations Officer Jeannette Mills has joined the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation Board of Directors.
The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation has STEM Centers all across the region—including in Cadiz—and was launched in 2001 by retired major league baseball players, Cal Ripken Jr. and Bill Ripken, in honor of their father and former Baltimore Orioles coach, Cal Ripken Sr.
The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation provides resources to youth by partnering with organizations to offer mentoring programs, sports clinics and educational opportunities.
The common goal between TVA and the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation is to create a brighter future for children by capturing their interest with STEM activities, introducing them to new careers, and fostering critical thinking skills that improve test performance, self-esteem, and school attendance.
