Several FirstEnergy employees attended a town hall, open forum-style discussion with Black business members and leaders from all around New Jersey. The event was hosted by The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey and the New Jersey Chamber, highlighting the state of DE&I in New Jersey.

The event included panel discussions on the value of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and progress in this area, while bringing to light inequities in the workplace. They also covered the benefits of utilizing diverse suppliers.
