TVA will hold nine public briefings across the Tennessee Valley between April 23 and May 3 to discuss the draft 2007 Strategic Plan with interested stakeholders.

The plan includes proposed strategic objectives for TVA in the areas of customer service, financial principles, balanced use of assets, top-quartile performance, and building pride in TVA’s performance and reputation.
