We’re proud to recognize Lufonda Cone, a dedicated NV Energy team member, as our October Volunteer of the Month, sponsored by NV Energy! Her commitment to community service embodies compassion, collaboration, and purpose—values that shine through both in her career and her volunteer work.
“I’m inspired to volunteer because I genuinely believe in the power of service to uplift others and strengthen our community,” Lufonda shared. “Whether it’s organizing events or supporting local causes, I find purpose in knowing that even small efforts can make a meaningful difference.”
For Lufonda, volunteering has been transformative. “It’s broadened my perspective and deepened my empathy,” she explained. “It’s not just about giving time; it’s about building relationships and community.” Her experiences have shown her that collective action—like the work she led on NV Energy’s Employee Volunteer Committee—can create lasting impact and bring people closer together.
Working for NV Energy, a company that champions community involvement, adds an extra layer of pride. “It’s empowering to be part of a company that doesn’t just talk about corporate responsibility but actively supports it,” she said. “That alignment between personal values and company culture is incredibly meaningful.”
For Lufonda, giving back to Southern Nevada means investing in the people and places that make this region home. “I live and work here, and I want to be part of the positive change that ensures Southern Nevada remains a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient place for everyone.”
United Way of Southern Nevada is honored to celebrate volunteers like Lufonda, whose dedication helps create a stronger, more connected community for all.
