Ambassador Spotlight of the Month (March 2024)
JEA’s March ambassador of the month is Larry Stephens. A water/wastewater electrical and instrumentation tech, Larry handles electrical or PLC-related issues at lift stations and master stations.
Larry has had a passion for volunteering and helping those in need since high school. When he joined JEA, a role in the ambassador program was a top priority for him.
“Becoming an ambassador has been a blessing ever since I started,” he said.
Larry’s favorite ambassador event is the World of Nations celebration, an event where attendees can experience the cuisine, artistry, and customs from lands near and far.
“The World of Nations event has such a diverse crowd,” Larry said. “I enjoy all ambassador events and helping the community become more energy-efficient.”
When Larry is in the community on behalf of JEA, he takes pride in being an advocate for us and correcting any misinformation that may be out there. The ambassador program also helped reconnect Larry to a family member at a local event.
“I was at an ambassador event and a family member I hadn’t seen in years needed help with a JEA billing issue,” he said. “I was able to get them in touch with the right person to resolve the issue and we also caught up on family memories.”
As we move forward through this year, Larry hopes JEA can recruit more ambassadors because he feels there are a lot of people in the community who can use our help.
“Every ambassador event is an adventure and a blessing. I’m hoping the team members who read this article can become an ambassador,” he said. “We need you, and the community needs you.”
You can request JEA Ambassadors or your group’s next community event. Simply complete the form at our Event and Expo Participation page and a JEA team member will contact you about your request.
