Chesapeake Utilities Corporation Honors 10 Years of Support for Women in Energy Leadership

On August 28, 2025, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (NYSE: CPK) commemorated a significant milestone: ten years of unwavering support for the Florida's Women in Energy Leadership Forum (FWELF). This notable event took place at the luxurious Four Seasons Orlando Resort from August 25 to August 27.

Since its inception in 2015, Chesapeake Utilities has played a pivotal role in the forum, actively participating and providing sponsorship. FWELF was founded by Lila A. Jaber, a highly respected former chair of the Florida Public Service Commission, who is also a current member of the board of directors of Chesapeake Utilities. This forum is known for highlighting the vital contributions and leadership roles of women within Florida's energy sector, underlining their impact on the state's economy, workforce diversity, and infrastructure advancements.

The theme for the 2025 forum, titled "Impact," served as a platform for C-suite keynote speakers and panelists to discuss critical topics revolving around infrastructure investment, employee focus, and customer engagement. This year’s event attracted over 400 participants, demonstrating a continued commitment to the cause, with Chesapeake Utilities proudly serving as a Gold sponsor.

Chesapeake Utilities showcased its leadership by having several executives actively involved in key discussions throughout the forum. Notable contributions included:

• - Kim Estrada, AVP of Customer Operations, who participated as a panelist in the session titled Impact: Customer is at the Center of Everything We Do.
• - Lucia Dempsey, Head of Investor Relations, who contributed insights on Impact on Investment Capital Markets and Dollars.
• - Andrena Burd, AVP of Risk Management, who addressed topics surrounding the importance of safety and security in the panel discussion about Safety and Security Must be Priorities.
• - Mike Cassel, VP of Strategic Development, moderated a critical dialogue on Federal Policy Implications on Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Economic Development and the Consumer.
• - Victoria Price Langan, Director of Governmental Affairs, conducted a workshop titled Dale Carnegie Workshop #Impact (Influence is Everything).

Reflecting on the forum's ten-year journey, Kim Estrada stated, "For ten years, Florida's Women in Energy Leadership Forum has been a space where industry leaders come together to share ideas, lift one another up, and showcase the impact of women in shaping the future of energy. Chesapeake Utilities has been proud to support the forum since the beginning, as it aligns closely with our key priorities—developing talent, advancing innovation, and building stronger communities. Every year, we leave with new perspectives and renewed inspiration to continue delivering energy that enhances lives."
