During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the successes of the Hispanic community and reaffirm our commitment to including persons of Hispanic descent in the Department’s programs and activities.  Sandra Guzman, award winning multimedia journalist and former editor-in-chief of Latina magazine, will open the program by sharing her unique perspective and serving as Mistress of Ceremonies.

Join us from 11am - 12:30pm EST to watch the program.

The Minorities in Energy Initiative will link together representatives from diverse community organizations, government, academia, and industry to provide their individual perspectives to address shared challenges in the areas of energy economic development, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education, and climate change. 

At the morning session, Secretary Moniz will kick off a panel of experts to address these issues from different lenses, allowing a more holistic approach in addressing energy concerns within minority communities.  During the afternoon session, participants will provide their individual views on the subject areas.
