Women’s Equality Day Panel: Empowered Women
Women’s Equality Day celebrates the ratification on Aug. 26, 1920, of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. This year, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Amendment, the Network of Exelon Women (NEW) and HeforShe are hosting a special live stream event. Do tune in on Aug. 26 at 8 a.m. CT/9 a.m. ET by clicking here (at the time of the meeting).
Hosted by Bridget Reidy, COO of Exelon BSC and executive sponsor of NEW, and sponsored by Dave Velazquez, president and CEO of PHI and HeforShe executive sponsor, the event includes a panel of talented women discussing their career development and how they broke through barriers to fill traditionally male-dominated roles across Exelon. The panelists include Bridget Reidy, Michelle Blaise (SVP Technical Services – ComEd), Brij Majano (Director IT – BSC), Becky Salvadore (Sr. Manager Training – Nuclear) and Amber Young (Director OCC – PHI). Don’t miss this exciting event!
Expo Ends—but Innovation Never Stops!
Thank you to the more than 6,800 employees who participated in the 2020 Innovation Expo: Powering a Resilient Future! The event would not be possible without employee innovators, so do help us congratulate and thank the more than 120 innovators who showcased their ideas this year! We appreciate their hard work and commitment to improving our company—and the world!
Do stay tuned for recaps of this year’s event and overviews of the Expo award winners. Additionally, we’ll be releasing content as it becomes available. For instance, if you missed yesterday’s wire-side chat between President & CEO Chris Crane and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, don’t despair! You can now watch their discussion here.
Don’t stop innovating just because the Expo is over! Keep the ideas coming and do input them into the Reinvent website throughout the year.
Do contact the Exelon Security Training Team if you would like a special session in the CISS Virtual Cyber Escape Room with your group as a future team building event.
Give the Gift of Hope
The Exelon Foundation Employee Giving Campaign is well under way and thousands have already given generously to our local communities. Thank you for your support!
If you haven’t yet given, please don’t forget to pledge online with the most generous gift you can.
Not sure which charity to support? Do log into the Powering Communities site to choose from thousands of non-profits or contact your local campaign leader for ideas.
These are challenging times for everyone, but especially for those most in need. Now’s the time to help by pledging financial support for local communities recovering from the economic impact of the pandemic, as well as dealing with continuing inequities in our society.
By pledging to give through the campaign, you give hope to hundreds of thousands of people. With your gift, you say, “Help is on the way!”
Also, do help us thank Limerick Site Vice President Frank Sturniolo (@2BFrankS) for posting his #IAmGiving photo on Twitter. Want to see your picture in Dos & Don’ts?
