70 71 THEWATER AUTHORITY OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS sewerage services to residents located within its West Bay Beach Sewerage System.” BVC: What characteristics of the Authority, in your estimation,makes it special? Frederick-van Genderen: “The Water Authority stands out both regionally and internationally as an example of how embracing emerging technologies can foster institutional resilience and adaptability in a changing world. In addition to our pioneering attitude, I think the corporate atmosphere of the Authority really does set it apart. It is important to us that every staff member feels valued for their contributions to the organization’s success, and that we continue to develop their skills and training. I think that is why approximately 60 percent of our staff has been with us 10 years or more.” BVC: Has anything recently occurred, or planned for the near-term future, that’ll impact the way you do things?
