PHOENIX, September 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
HeroZona Foundation's Co-Founder and U.S. Army veteran, Alan "AP"
Powell, will participate in the Veterans in Energy forum in
Washington, D.C. on Sep. 13.
Veterans in Energy is a national employee resource group that
provides transition, retention and professional development support
to military veterans working in energy. Veterans in Energy works to
provide opportunities for outreach, networking and mentoring to
support the needs of the growing population of veterans who have
chosen energy careers.
Powell will participate in a fireside chat with Ray Brooks, Arizona Public Service Customer Care
Center manager and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, on the final day of
the two-day forum as part of the program's Veteran Service Group
Spotlight. Brooks is also the Chair of APS's Veterans Engagement
Transition Retention Network (VETRN). The focus of discussion will
be on grassroots level veteran-focused community partnerships and
inside-out community action.
"I'm excited to participate in any dialogue that seeks to
leverage the value that transitioning veterans bring to the
civilian workforce," said Powell. "Our nation's veterans are making
lasting contributions in the energy sector, and I look forward to
this opportunity to learn more about Veterans in Energy and also to
showcase the initiatives we've created in Arizona to support veterans and their
families."
