Jacob Williams spoke at the Florida’s Women in Energy Leadership Forum (FWELF) last week in Orlando. He joined Lisa Johnson, CEO and general manager of Seminole Electric Cooperation, for a fireside chat facilitated by Florida Public Service Commissioner Gary Clark. The conversation focused on portfolio planning and preparing for the future in order to meet growing energy demands and needs. Several members of FMPA’s staff also attended the forum, which is hosted annually by the leadership group led by Lila Jaber.
