Energy Infrastructure, Workforce Development, and Supplier Diversity— Developing Equitable Solutions to Achieve Increased Participation of African Americans in Energy

This panel will examine legislative and Administration proposals; identify opportunities for economic advancement in targeted communities and examine what is needed in targeted communities as businesses and consumers prepare to absorb deployment of multiple capital investments.
