Sustainability is just as much about people and communities as it is about environmental well-being and economic strength. MSD’s strategic plan emphasizes relationships with three primary partners: customers, community stakeholders, and our workforce. This section describes what we are doing to promote healthy relationships with each of these groups.
Sixth Annual MSD Stakeholder Breakfast
MSD’s annual breakfasts began as MSD’s response to stakeholder requests to have more opportunities to talk with MSD. Over the last 6 years, the Stakeholder Breakfast has evolved into a welcome annual event that gives MSD an opportunity to interact face-to-face with the leaders of all of the communities and political subdivisions that we serve, present our challenges and achievements for the year, and answer questions from our stakeholders. In 2008, we changed the name of the event to “MSD In Your Community,” to reflect the change in focus from just capital projects to a broader view our utility’s roles and activities in the community. The event format features presentations by MSD and other leaders, followed by break-out sessions to allow detailed discussion of selected topics. Highlights of the 2009 breakfast included presentations about stormwater source control techniques by Mark Fisher from the Cincinnati Zoo and Jeff Aluotto, Assistant County Administrator.
