Both Commissioner Mary Stewart and I were in attendance. <br /> One of our Dashboard Initiatives is Future Leader Training (Theme 2:4) and we are <br />taking an organization-wide approach for all non-management employees to start. The <br />facilitator is Kent Myers, the same individual who is facilitating the MMUA Leadership <br />Academy. We had the first of six training sessions entitled Everyday Leadership on <br />Wednesday, October 7 and it seemed to be well received. Managers are given the <br />presentation overview to be able to encourage and develop employees in between the <br />sessions. The first session topic was having perspective on how we can all influence <br />those around us, both negatively and positively, no matter our position in the <br />organization. The challenge put forth to everyone was to seek ways to positively impact <br />someone else’s day, every day. The next session will be December 9, 2020. <br /> <br /> MMUA held their first Municipal Utilities Action Fund (MUAF) event on October 6, 2020. <br />It was a virtual event with guest speaker Todd Rapp providing his insight into possible <br />outcomes of the 2020 elections. MUAF is funding available for the MMUA Government <br />Relations Team to support candidates with a strong history supporting public power and <br />municipal utilities. <br /> <br /> An offer has been made and accepted for our HR Generalist position, with an <br />anticipated start date of October 26. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />72 <br />
