From the Executive Director...

November is upon us and the football season in Texas is more than half done.  What happens in the coming weeks makes all the difference for which teams make the playoffs. Some teams are getting better and others are struggling. I hope all your favorites are “growing stronger” as the season matures. 

Our agency’s performance is certainly in the category of “getting stronger” every month. Read Tony Slagle’s report on our customer service trends and you will better understand our intense focus on improvement.  Every day we work on issues that will streamline processes or remove impediments, and find better ways to serve and communicate with our stakeholders. Let us know how we are doing.  We are always ready to listen to solid ideas for improving our performance.
