## Making SHIFT Happen for Future Generations

Representing the next generation of energy, eight students from the Energy Institute High School in Houston attended HERWorld19 on Friday, March 8. Katie Mehnert, Founder/CEO of Pink Petro and Experience Energy, recognizes these young women are the industry's future. She invited each to take part in this 4th annual global energy conference as guests of Pink Petro.

Like sponges, these students soaked up everything current industry leaders have to say. But as the conference came to a close, Mehnert said it was time for the students to do the talking and the industry leaders to do the listening.

She asked the students, "What's it going to take to attract them to the energy industry and, just as important, to keep them engaged?"
