MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Vistra team is actively involved in our community.

Vistra’s President and CEO, Brian Butler, serves as a business mentor to the Mort Elementary School Principal – Woodland Johnson - as part of the Florida Council for Educational Change's Partnership to Advance School Success model. Together, Brian and Woodland developed strategic plans to tackle many of the issues important to Mort’s success.

Jeff Darrey, retired Executive Vice President, founded Trinity Cafe a charity which has served over a million meals to those less fortunate.

Vistra team members have mentored children, assisted families in need, adopted an elementary school, supported our nation’s Veterans, built a church in West Africa, served an orphanage in Central America and they’re leaders in youth sports.

We believe in empowering communities, solving problems and changing lives.
