ALL Hands on Deck, WE, INFRASTRUCTURE and PIPELINE Initiative for Milwaukeeans

April 24, 2012  

MILWAUKEE(MPA) - CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP is one of the ways released by the office of Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association for how MPA Action plan is to be realized.

The focus is a BOTTOM-Up economy with vetted engines from the neighborhood level. The working partners are: residential, commercial, industrial, government and social organizations in Milwaukee.

 The CORE VALUE is rooted in TRUST, customer care, customer safety, customer wellness, customer growth and customer sustainability. NO ONE is Exempt.

The method of operation is taken from Steven Covey's 7 steps of Highly Effective People. They are:
1. Be Proactive.
2. Begin with the End in Mind.
3. First Things First.
4. Win-Win Attitude.
5. Seek first to Understand and then be Understood.
6. Synergy Development.
7. We will sharpen the "saw" - the plan.
========================

The first corporate business is JOHNSON CONTROL. Corporate Leader: Stephen Roell, President/CEO Johnson Control, corporate office in Glendale, Wisconsin, has been chosen as the first for many reasons; one of which is President Roell's recent engagement with President Kevin Reilly, University of Wisconsin System and University of Wisconsin Board of Regents that calls for a deal with two (2) of our public higher education sites, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and University of Wisconsin - Madison. However, African American and other People of Color do not have an education attainment and technology pipeline finger print. That is DISCRIMINATION. This is to correct that wrong.

Glass released a late statement, "MPA ALL Hands on Deck - Call to Action by ALL - REVITALIZATION of Milwaukee calls on Corporate America in the city limits of Milwaukee/Milwaukee County and/or those receiving government funding on behalf of those in the iconic city of Milwaukee to LISTEN-UP, GET-UP and REFORM the infrastructure of Milwaukee for their sustainability-the families of Milwaukee now and to place in the pipeline pathways for those to come." "It is the right thing to do".
