She helped organize an employee resource group to promote greater involvement and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. She has also helped planinitiatives with other employee resource groups at Con Edison.

“I’m very grateful and honored to be recognized with this award,” said Rivas, who has worked for Con Edison since 2013. “I am passionate about diversity and inclusion because seeing different perspectives makes us a stronger company. We serve New York City, one of the most diverse places in the world, and we should reflect that in our workplace.”
