CEWD Anniversary Fund

Investment in CEWD’s 20th Anniversary is a commemorative tribute to two decades of progress in developing the energy workforce and an influential commitment to the next generation of talent that will power the industry’s possibilities and fuel our future. By joining this exclusive circle of donors, you will catalyze the expansion of energy education in our nation’s schools as we work toward nationwide adoption of the Energy and Natural Resources Career Cluster and provide the critical resources needed to bridge the gap between service and civilian life for veterans and military families through CEWD’s Troops to Energy Jobs programming. Your support will advance programs like Hire PowHER that is attracting more women to skilled trade roles and enabling scholarships that dismantle financial barriers for aspiring technicians and engineers. Your help will ensure that critical workforce development needs are identified for influential stakeholders and decision makers. This is an invitation to secure your legacy at the forefront of the industry, ensuring that as we celebrate our history on Capitol Hill this year, your stewardship is part of the celebration.
