EMPOWERHER award

In the spirit of our mission  of Connecting and Empowering Women in the Energy Industry, this award recognizes the unsung heroine in the workplace.  An unsung heroine is a woman who makes significant positive impacts, sacrifices, or brave contributions to her community or others, but receives little or no recognition, praise, or fame for her efforts.  She often works behind the scenes, motivated by duty or altruism rather than seeking acknowledgement.

These women set the standards for excellence in customer service, operations, brand loyalty, and dedication.
