Entergy Highlights Women Leading The Future Of The Utility Industry

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 22, 2026 / It has been said that nothing happens without electricity. From industry to small mom-and-pop businesses, to households across America, the utility industry provides the power people need to live their lives, enjoy their pastimes and make things happen. And in July, the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans provided the backdrop for yet another great conversation on the pivotal role of women in shaping the future of the utility industry.

The setting was the Global Black Economic Forum Business Summit and the panel, moderated by John Hudson, Entergy's chief external affairs officer, offered a thoughtful conversation with two nationally recognized utility industry leaders: Colette Honorable, Chief Legal Officer, Compliance and Corporate Secretary at Exelon, and Nicole Daggs, Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Services at NextEra.
