Entergy Supports Women in STEM Initiative

To inspire the next generation of women in STEM, Entergy signed on as the premier sponsor for the American Heart Association of Greater New Orleans’ STEM Goes Red initiative. The AHA created STEM Goes Red to encourage young women’s interests in STEM careers.

Entergy Honored with 2019 Pro Patria Award

The U.S. Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve in Louisiana presented Entergy with its 2019 Pro Patria Award June 4 in New Orleans. Chief Nuclear Officer and Executive Vice President Chris Bakken, executive sponsor of Entergy’s Veterans Employee Resource Group, accepted the award from ESGR Louisiana representatives, state committee chair Larry Jones and southeast area chair Ken Demarest. “I’d like to thank you for recognizing us but it’s a much more important recognition of our veterans and those in the reserves,” Bakken said. “They form the backbone of our country and are also a critical part of our company.”

Providing Their Perspective: Women at Entergy Share Their Stories

Entergy established the Women’s Employee Resource Group in 2017 to promote an inclusive environment that empowers, supports and connects women at Entergy. Since its launch, the group has helped to establish a Women’s Leadership Advisory Committee, hosted Entergy’s inaugural Women’s Leadership Forum, and provided a space for women at Entergy to share insights and help the company advance its gender diversity goals.
