Meet grid technician Thomas Doan. He's on a team helping expand Duke Energy’s smart-grid, self-healing technology that minimizes customer outages and speeds up restoration. In seeking a deeper connection to his Vietnamese roots, Thomas helped establish the Charlotte, N.C., chapter of Duke Energy’s Asian Inclusion Network (AIN), one of many employee resource groups that aim to increase cultural awareness and foster inclusion. This #AAPIHeritageMonth, Thomas shares how his family’s determination to flee Vietnam in search of freedom and safety has afforded him the opportunities he has today.
