It's been quite a week so far at CEWD's Workforce Development Summit. Here are a few scenes from Day 1. Our Opening General Session brought us into the C-Suite as we learned from Exelon's Calvin Butler, New York Power Authority's Justin E. Driscoll, and Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn, representing TXNM Energy and Edison Electric Institute, on how workforce development conversations, priorities, and actions are taking place in their businesses these days and the importance of industry action to hire 32 million people over the next ten years. PSEG's Sheila Rostiac and CEWD Chair welcomed more than 350 attendees who are focused on building the industry's talent pipeline. We hosted 20 #CHROs from across the industry for our first CHRO Day focused on workforce development opportunities. We celebrated the new #EnergyAndNaturalResourcesCareerCluster with cake and balloons and streamers and noise makers and everything! Totally worth it. Thanks Kristie Kelley for cutting the cake (and the work to get us here)! And of course, the attendees filled session rooms, networked, shared ideas, and had some fun along the way. #CEWDSummit

Last week, our executive team celebrated Entergy's 75th anniversary as a listed NYSE company. It was a great event at the Stock Exchange, which also allowed us to celebrate 111 years being in business. While in New York, I was also able to have productive conversations with Bloomberg News and CNBC's Mad Money with Jim Cramer where I shared our customer-driven growth opportunity, infrastructure projects to strengthen the electrical system and how we are working to keep energy costs as low as possible for our customers. Here are some photos from our visit. #WePowerLife 📸: Entergy and NYSE
