🌟 Around the Block: June Highlights 🌟
As the CEO of Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority, my role extends far beyond the walls of my office. Here are a few highlights from my excursions in June.
1. JUNETEENTH IN DA ROCK: If you missed this year’s celebration, you missed a treat! Our Outreach Team and other utility companies hosted booths in the new “Kids Zone.” Activities were age-based, and I had too much fun with the younger kids as they sorted items, deciding whether to flush them down the toilet 🚽 or toss them in the trash can🗑️. Thanks Mosaic Templars Cultural Center for the vision & opportunity!
2. APAC GRADUATION: I had the profound honor of being the keynote speaker for the Arkansas Public Administration Consortium (APAC) graduation where I discussed, “Your Public Service. Your Power.” APAC, a program through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, nurtures future leaders in the public sector. Four LRWRA team members graduated from APAC programs this year which added to the excitement of the day.🎓
3. BRING YOUR KIDS TO WORK DAY: I always have a great time sharing our work with the next generation of water professionals. Forty-two children (ages 8–18) spent the day with us, enjoying hands-on activities. From engineering gumdrop and toothpick structures to making bath bombs with our Lab techs, it was all about fun and learning. Plus, kids got to see where their parents or grandparents work. A win-win!
4. LEADERSHIP GREATER LITTLE ROCK: As a graduate of Leadership Greater Little Rock Class XXXII (the best class), I attended the recent graduation of Class XXXIX. It’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces and congratulate the newest graduates; it’s even better when one of those graduates is a co-worker! Cheers to all the graduates.🎉
Remember, collective efforts create ripples of positive impact. Until next month’s “Around the Block” update!🌎
