JEA Ambassadors: Engaging and Educating Our Community

JEA team member Ambassadors spend thousands of hours each year in the community, educating our customers about conservation, safety and the various products and services JEA offers to customers; including solutions to help track their usage, pay their bill and how best to communicate with JEA.

Ambassador Spotlight of the Month (March 2023)

For much of Vanessa Moore’s 30-year career at JEA, she was focused on managing a tenure that has taken her from a branch office back in 1992 to her current role as a customer advisor III in the receivable collection service department. But, about 10 years ago, she realized that she could do much more for her community and had the time to serve as a member of JEA’s Ambassador program.

“I have acquired a great deal of knowledge and experiences over the past years here at JEA, and being an Ambassador gives me the opportunity to pass that knowledge and experience onto our customers,” she said. “It’s important to educate our customers and provide them with the tools they need to make better decisions on how they use our services. I believe by doing so it helps us build trust within our community and reinforces JEA’s commitment to the customers we serve.”

Most recently, Vanessa participated in TEACH Conference 2023, a daylong conference created to engage, empower and inspire educators. Held Feb. 25 at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel downtown, the conference gave educators an opportunity to spend the day meeting and sharing ideas with fellow educators, learning new ways to engage students, and empowering themselves to further inspire others.

“I have a great appreciation for teachers that dedicate their lives to educating our students,” she said. “The teachers were so honored and thankful that we came to show support and gratitude for all they do. It was an honor to be part of such a great experience.”

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.
