As a proud sponsor of the annual Ambassador of Golf event, we're honored to help raise funds for the Northern Ohio Golf Charities & Foundation to support Ohio non-profits. Lorna Wisham, VP Corporate Affairs & Community Involvement, introduced the FirstEnergy Foundation and our participation in supporting the annual Ambassador of Golf event, while Brian Tierney, President & CEO of FirstEnergy, kicked off introductions of Peyton Manning, who is this year's Ambassador of Golf recipient. Manning is featured in this year's iconic annual portrait painting as the 2024 Ambassador of Golf award recipient, showcasing a collage of his love for football and golf. The painting will be displayed alongside past Ambassador of Golf recipients at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH.

It's time for #PeopleBehindThePower! This week we're excited to introduce, Maggie Myers! Maggie is a manager on our Process Improvement team and has been with FirstEnergy for nearly 18 years.

There’s a famous phrase that reads, 'We rise by lifting others,' which is the perfect representation of the work that I am most passionate about.'"
