Duke Energy Corp. Chief Executive Jim Rogers will speak at the Triangle Business Journal's Power Breakfast event on Sept. 27.
Duke Energy Corp.'s embattled chief executive will keynote an upcoming Power Breakfast event for the Charlotte Business Journal's sister publication in Raleigh.
The event will be among Jim Rogers' first public appearances in the state's capital city since Charlotte-based Duke (NYSE:DUK) merged with Raleigh's Progress Energy Inc.
Former Progress Chief Executive Bill Johnson had been slated to run the combined company, but in a surprise turn of events, the company's board pushed Johnson out and reinstated Rogers. Inquiries into the circumstances around the ouster are ongoing.
Rogers is expected to discuss his plan for the merged company, the company's vision for its Raleigh operations, and Duke's commitment to philanthropy in the Triangle area.
The Triangle Business Journal will host the event on Sept. 27 at the Raleigh Marriott City Center. The cost to attend is $50, including breakfast. Networking begins at 7 a.m. Rogers will speak at 8 a.m., with a question-and-answer session following. More information is available at www.bizjournals.com/triangle/event/66491.
Jen Wilson coordinates the Charlotte Business Journal's online operations, chronicles local events for CBJ Seen and takes photographs.
