AABE Energy News: October 2012 | Chapter News
A Message from the President
After almost a year in my current position, I have been reflecting on all that it has taken for this association to reach the stature that we enjoy. With the presidential election only weeks away, energy has become one of the key issues discussed by the candidates.
Today, the national conversation around energy today does include the impact on Africans Americans. And while we are glad that the conversation is now taking place, what we should be mindful of is who is framing those conversations if it is not AABE.
We should ask: with the "Browning of America", the spending power and economic impact of African Americans and the rising number of African American energy professionals, are we as the AABE asserting ourselves as the industry experts and are we being recognized as the valuable resource for legislators, industry and community stakeholders?
What I have come to realize in just my short time is that AABE is doing the right things to properly position itself to realize its mission and be the framers for the national conversations about Blacks and energy.
With warmest regards,
Arnetta McRae
AABE President and CEO
