Nashville, TN – July 26, 2024 – The Utility 2030 Collaborative (U2030) is excited to introduce our esteemed emcees for its third annual U2030 Women Who SPARK Awards Gala, a U2030 Annual SPARK Meeting highlight.
Janisse Quinones, CEO and Chief Engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), and Jody Allison, Vice President of Transformation at Liberty Utilities, will host the gala alongside Paul Applegate from InvoiceCloud, the sponsor of this impactful awards program. Together, they will lead the celebration recognizing the remarkable achievements of women who have significantly impacted the utility sector.
