Every journey begins with a connection

Every journey begins with a connection. The renewable energy industry is often described through miles of transmission lines, gigawatts of capacity and ambitious projects that shape the future. Yet behind every achievement is something even more important: people. The relationships we build with mentors, colleagues, partners and friends help us navigate challenges, discover opportunities and create lasting impact. Together, these connections form a network that is every bit as important as the infrastructure we design and build. This bracelet symbolizes that shared journey. Just as energy travels across a connected grid, ideas, encouragement and opportunities move through the relationships that strengthen our industry. As this bracelet continues its journey, it will carry the stories of the people who wore it before and those who will wear it next. Thank you for being part of a community that continues to inspire, support and empower one another as we work together to Wire the Future®.

My career is so incredibly important to me... so my story revolves around a time of major change in my career. I've been with my current company since December of 2025, having been laid off from what I thought was my forever career journey two months prior. Since coming to this company, I've had an amazing journey of growth- new industry, new team, new to leadership- and a time of reflection. As we gear up for more change- reorganization to better handle major growth- this bracelet is a wonderful reminder that my team supports their people and wants us to stay connected!
