ComEd to be honored with prestigious award for
innovative, one-of-a-kind STEM education program
Demonstrating a strong commitment to the community and
education, ComEd has received the gold award in Chartwell’s 12th
Annual Best Practices Awards in the Communication category for its
unique “Icebox Derby” STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math) education program. The gold award is the highest honor a
company can receive in the award program.
Chartwell awards recognize excellence among electric and gas
utilities with respect to projects, programs and service
initiatives. The categories include Billing and Payment Programs,
Communications, Customer Service, Outage Communications and Program
Marketing. ComEd’s Icebox Derby, which was recognized in the
communications category, is an educational program bringing 30 teen
girls together from across Chicagoland for a hands-on STEM
experience by turning recycled refrigerators into electric race
cars.
“ComEd is honored to be recognized by Chartwell as an industry
leader for our Icebox Derby program, which focuses on exciting
young women about the prospects of a career in STEM, while also
building ComEd’s future workforce from our own towns and
neighborhoods,” said Anne Pramaggiore, President and CEO of ComEd.
“Now in its third year, Icebox Derby continues to offer a
state-of-the-art learning experience to the young women involved.
This year, we added solar panels as a way to teach girls about
renewable energy, and we’re already looking at ways to expand the
program for next year.”
ComEd will receive the Gold Award during EMACS – The Customer
Experience Conference, Oct. 3-6 in Orlando. All Best Practice Award
winners and finalists will be recognized during an awards luncheon
on Oct. 5. The conference features more than 30 sessions focused on
customer experience-related issues facing the utility industry,
including billing and payment, customer care, marketing, energy
programs, and outage communications.
In addition to winning an award the Icebox Derby program has
received national recognition through recent reports in the Wall
Street Journal as well as other local and industry news outlets.
