Join us in Norfolk on Thursday, March 26, for the next event on our GO BIG campaign: All the Above Energy. We’re getting out of the boardroom and into the community to witness the transformative power of diversified energy firsthand.
This will be a great day — we’ve lined up site visits, a local lunch and a panel of speakers who can speak to how this work fuels long-term growth and success in our rural communities. We’ll establish how diversifying Nebraska’s energy portfolio is a primary engine of job creation and vital revenue that can support our local schools, services and education.
Because we’re doing on-site tours, our capacity is much smaller than it was for the Launch Forum. I want to make sure you have the opportunity to grab a spot before they run out.
Your voice is such an important part of this conversation — don’t miss this opportunity!
