As Women's History Month comes to a close, it's important to recognize the contributions of women in the energy industry. One such woman is Lori Fremin, the Board Chair Emeritus of the Energy Education Foundation (EEF). Lori's journey into the energy industry began with a desire for a good job with great benefits. However, she quickly realized that her work had a greater purpose. She enjoyed volunteering to help others understand how the industry impacted their lives, and after having children, she felt a greater responsibility to help future generations. Throughout her career, Lori had several role models and mentors, including her grandmothers, mother, and various senior leaders who provided guidance and opportunities. These mentors helped shape her career path and encouraged her to create a plan with alternate scenarios to achieve her long-term goals. When asked about the most important function of her work in the energy industry, Lori highlighted three critical areas. First, she believes that energy education and awareness is essential to bringing others along and making them smarter energy consumers. Second, creating a sustainable energy future is crucial, and this involves nurturing and reinventing both traditional and renewable energy sources. Third, she believes that everyone needs to lean in and become part of the solution to ensure sufficient energy supplies for future generations. Lori also sees the EEF as playing a significant role in the future of the energy industry. The foundation's focus on energy education and awareness is crucial in promoting a better understanding of how the industry impacts our lives. It also encourages discussions that move beyond the false dichotomy of either/or to embrace the power of both/and, recognizing the need for all sources of energy to help people live and thrive. As we celebrate Women's History Month, we recognize Lori Fremin's contributions to the energy industry and her dedication to creating a sustainable energy future through education and awareness. Her work serves as an inspiration to women in the industry and reminds us of the importance of mentoring and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders.
In celebration of Women's History Month, it's important to recognize the trailblazing women who have made significant contributions in their respective fields. One such woman is Lyndal Cissell, a board member of the Energy Education Foundation (EEF), Managing Director at SLB, and a leader in the energy industry. Lyndal's journey in the energy industry began when she was studying Geomorphology in college. Realizing that it would be a challenge to find remunerative employment in her field, she researched the best careers in STEM and found that petroleum engineering was at the top of the list. She switched schools and programs and never looked back. Throughout her career, Lyndal has had amazing mentors and managers who have challenged her and given her new opportunities to learn and grow. Her mother was also an important role model who taught her that learning is lifelong and grit is the secret ingredient to success. Today, Lyndal sees the most important function of her work in the energy industry as driving energy innovation for a balanced planet. She is committed to moving further and faster in driving the world's ongoing energy transition. As a board member of the Energy Education Foundation, Lyndal understands the importance of providing an open platform to share with society the value of the industry. Petroleum products are part of every fabric of our lives today, from medical products to our homes and our food chain. The EEF serves as an education platform to inspire future engineers to solve the complex challenges facing the industry and to be inspired by the opportunities to help the world face its greatest balancing act. Lyndal Cissell is an inspiration to women and men alike in the energy industry. Her commitment to driving energy innovation and her work with the EEF are critical in shaping the future of the industry. We should all take note of her success and learn from her example of hard work, determination, grit, and lifelong learning.
