Recognition of Employee Achievement Dave Ninow, MMUA FirstLine Supervision Graduate

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA), in partnership with Central Lakes College, has had a
FirstLine Supervision program for many years and Elk River Municipal Utilities has sent multiple
employees to this training program. It is an opportunity to participate with other individuals from across
the state and learn about leadership in many different areas including personality types, financial
review, and HR basics, going beyond the traditional supervisory-management program. The format uses
behavior modeling, which stresses realistic examples, discussion, feedback, and planning, with an
emphasis on practice. It stresses working with people. The program spans two years and meets twice a
year for two days each session.
Dave Ninow recently graduated from this program and we would like to congratulate him and recognize
his efforts to further his personal and professional development. Well done Dave!
