A Leadership Journey
Our Women in Energy steering committee had the pleasure of joining leadership to host two dynamic and motivating Women in Energy events, held in DeBary, FL and in Dover, DE. At both events, our female colleagues happily welcomed Board Member Dianna Morgan as the featured guest speaker who presented, A Leadership Journey – Lessons for my Daughter.
Dianna Morgan’s leadership journey is impressive and inspirational. She shared personal narratives about her experiences in the workplace as a female coworker, leader and working mother. Dianna Morgan’s reflections encouraged our very own women in energy to continue to seize opportunities to achieve their greatest potential and to create the life and career that they always dreamed.
Dianna Morgan, a Chesapeake Board Member since 2008, had a 30-year career with the Walt Disney World Co. where she served as Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Public Affairs. She also led the development of The Disney Institute, as Disney brought best practices in customer service, people management and leadership development to the marketplace.
At the time of Dianna Morgan’s retirement, Disney created a special award recognizing her love for her community, The Dianna Morgan Children’s Champion Award, is presented to organizations exemplifying outstanding service to children.
“I am continually proud of the women in our Company. The engagement and enthusiasm displayed by our employees and their desire to share experiences, both successes and failures, are extremely valuable to our organization. I look forward to future meetings and activities sponsored by the Women in Energy program,”

“I was honored to be a part of the Women in Energy event and to be on the panel. I thought that it was a great opportunity for us to hear lessons learned from Dianna Morgan. What a great role model she is for all of us! Her ‘8 Key Points’ were remarkable reminders that all of us should be aware of in our own lives. This event exemplifies the Chesapeake culture and how we truly care for each other. What a great forum for us to network and share our story. We all have one to share from which others may learn. Be a champion for women, every day!”
