#MeetOurTeam: Susie O’Hara, Senior Utility Advisor Moonshot Missions is comprised of passionate team members who strive to make a difference for communities in need. As a Senior Utility Advisor, Susie assists water and wastewater utilities with strategic planning, program development, and implementation. She has a varied background in public service, historically working as a problem solver, program manager, and strategist. Susie joined Moonshot three years ago when founder George Hawkins was still building his plans for the organization. For Susie, it’s been invigorating to see Moonshot grow, expand, and evolve. “Being part of that journey has been tremendous... Moonshot is a family that has grown together to meet a shared ideal and objective to serve our nation’s utilities as they work hard to serve their communities.” Susie believes that Moonshot leaves each community they visit in a better place than they found it through technical assistance, management guidance, and partnership building - all of which make Moonshot’s work extremely gratifying. Outside of work, Susie and her husband are deeply invested in their community, their three daughters, and their close network of friends. They value spending time outdoors and traveling to far-off places to absorb new cultures. Susie says, “When a job feels like family and you can see the impacts of your service, you’ve hit the jackpot.” Meet the whole Moonshot team: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXSUj8DD #Water #Wastewater #Team #Utility #SeniorUtilityAdvisor

Moonshot Missions was contracted in 2021 to facilitate Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department’s new five-year strategic plan. With over 6500 stakeholders involved, Water: A Vision for Excellence (WAVE) is truly an employee-led plan. To maintain its employee focus, Moonshot constructed a phased approach to WAVE implementation. Deep in the “Build the WAVE” phase, Moonshot recently conducted four 3-hour workshops, incorporating the voices of 100 WASD employees, to prioritize the 137 actions identified in WAVE. The WAVE plan is making a big splash for Miami-Dade Water and Sewer, and Moonshot is incredibly proud to support the largest water/wastewater utility in Southern Florida.
