Dominion Energy Celebrates Black History Month With an Employee Volunteer Spotlight

CAYCE, S.C. (Feb. 5, 2024) – Ozon Wilson won’t think twice about taking that extra step to make a difference. The Lexington, South Carolina, native said he has always had a passion for being in the outdoors and giving back to the community.

“Growing up, I was always encouraged to get involved and try things, and I’m a firm believer in we get what we give,” said Wilson, a gas journeyman with Dominion Energy. “When our natural resources are damaged, it’s going to affect us all. There’s a lot of help needed to keep our wildlife safe.”

When he’s not working to provide natural gas services across the Midlands, he spends countless hours volunteering with the South Carolina Wildlife Federation and other local organizations.

“He is the perfect example of a passionate volunteer,” said Jay Keck, industry habitat manager with SCWF. “You can see he cares about making a difference with his continuous contributions he’s made with us.

There he supports nest box maintenance and litter sweep, all while advocating to increase the involvement of Black volunteers.

“As a person of color, I started to look around and saw there weren’t a lot of people who looked like me,” Wilson said. “It made me think of what I could do to get more people of color involved in wildlife volunteering, and how I could create a bridge between the two.”

Wilson began sharing his passion for nature with his church community and other people around him.

“In the past, we haven’t had a big minority presence in our volunteer groups,” Keck said. “Having a shining example like Ozon who wants to share his interest in nature to other Black people in the community is so important because spreading awareness is what really brings people in."

 

Wilson’s drive to make a difference in the community has also been noticed during his 25 years of helping to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably for Dominion Energy customers.

“He takes initiative in his work, and it shows,” said Stephen Baxley, supervisor of gas operations at Dominion Energy South Carolina. “In his time with the company, he’s built trust with customers, and he’s always willing to help. We routinely call on him to share his experience and knowledge with those in our gas apprenticeship program.”

Wilson believes Dominion Energy’s commitment to diverse representation in its workforce is important to the communities the company serves.

“It’s the extra step that makes an impact,” he said. “Having that representation in more experienced roles across the company shows our actions align with our core values.”
