We blinked and all of sudden it’s May – wow! Believe it or not, April did happen. But what also happened was our celebration of Earth Month! All month long your #EPElectric team members were taking to the community highlighting the important initiatives our Utility is pursuing to building a stronger, cleaner, more resilient future. These events were made possible in large part to our VOLTS program and all of you who selflessly devote your time, treasure, and talents to our community. We couldn’t ask for better timing as April is also known as Volunteer Appreciation Month.
The intersectionality between Volunteer Appreciation and Earth Month is recognized in our second season’s fourth episode of The E.P.E. Podcast – Empowering People with Energy.
Kelly sits with The Frontera Land Alliance’s Executive Director Janae’ Reneaud Field and our very own team member and Compliance Specialist Michelle Pedroza. Check this podcast out and share it with…EVERYONE! And enjoy the views as this episode was shot at our very own Newman Solar Facility in Northeast El Paso.
