Clint Parker, CEO of LeaderLift will be the keynote speaker.
Other speakers include:
- Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president, NJBPU
- Kim Hanemann, president & COO, PSEG
- Mark McDonough, president, New Jersey American Water Co.
- Christie McMullen, president, Elizabethtown Gas

The SDCC says the event reflects a shared commitment to building stronger partnerships, fostering innovation and supplier advancement in New Jersey’s utility sector.
For nearly three decades, the SDDC has brought together diverse suppliers, corporate leaders, and utility partners to share best practices, open doors to new opportunities and create meaningful connections that strengthen our communities and our economy.
Today, it is continuing that tradition with a program designed to inspire action, spark collaboration, and accelerate progress toward a more diverse marketplace.
“We are not only driving change — we are energizing it,” SDDC officials said.
