On Why They Have Entered The American Business Awards:
"You learn the true measure of an organization, not in good times, but in a crisis," said Curtis Hébert, Entergy executive vice president of external affairs. "When faced with back-to-back weather emergencies, the employees of Entergy rose to the challenge in extraordinary fashion.
"Our storm restoration team quickly assembled an impressive force of employees, contractors and loaned labor to restore service to our communities. One of the most critical things we do during times like this, besides restoring power, is keeping our customers, the media, and our employees informed about our efforts. The communications team did an outstanding job of managing this crucial process and did so with caring and sensitivity for all involved.
"The positive media coverage and support from employees and customers speak volumes about the success of their work, but don’t capture the teamwork and can-do attitude that characterized the efforts of Entergy’s hurricane communications response team. A Stevie Award would be a fitting recognition for these communications professionals whose efforts turned what could easily have been a public relations nightmare into a positive, successful event for Entergy."
