What do you value about being a Cloud Girl?
I value both the education and networking that come with the membership as well as the annual retreat. The retreat is the one time each year we are all able to come together, get to know each other, and discuss key issues in a relaxed and open environment.

While she’s not in the tech industry, she did begin her career in a very male dominated field (engineering) and through endless hard work and unwavering integrity rose to become one of the few female CEOs in the electric utility industry.
