BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exelon Utilities CEO Calvin G. Butler Jr. was honored February 13 with the BEYA Chairman's Award during the organization's annual BEYA STEM conference, hosted virtually. Previously known as the Black Engineer of the Year Awards, the BEYA conference recognizes Black leaders for their meaningful contributions to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Butler joined a roster of accomplished Black leaders of Fortune 500 companies and government organizations recognized at the BEYA STEM conference for their service and dedication to opening doors for Black people in STEM. The Chairman's Award is not given annually, but rather when warranted for outstanding contributions.
"To whom much is given, much is required," Butler said in his acceptance speech. "We're committed to standing up, stepping up and being the change we're all talking about. Teamwork, partnership and service have powered my contributions and impact. That same combination can power a cleaner, brighter future for all of us."
Exelon President and CEO Chris Crane commended Butler during the program, saying "He's got heart for the employees, for the customers and for the communities we serve."
Exelon prioritizes STEM through its workforce development efforts, which focus on preparing work-ready adults and youth for family-supporting careers. Through its long-standing partnerships with select middle schools, high schools and youth organizations in underrepresented communities, Exelon provides mentors, resources and education support to prepare students for higher education and 21st century careers in STEM. In addition, our enterprise-wide STEM education programs are held in each of our major service territories, offering hands-on learning and mentorship to strengthen education and introduce young minds to careers in energy.
