HOW TVA BOARD MEETINGS WERE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN 1980s
From Faith Young:  TVA took notice of the public for the very, very first time early on I remember.   .  We
had slipped into the TVA Knoxville meeting room.  As I rose to speak.  Aubrey Wagner and  colleagues  
got up from their chairs .  He walked out of the room and shut the door..  Can you picture?  It was
wonderful.  They were astonished.   Didn't work in the '80s.  We all went to jail.   

From Jeannine Honicker:  Let me tell you the rest of the story about how the TVA board meetings
became public. I was there when Faith and her crew tried it the second time.  Faith was smart.  She invited
two very fat women.  When the board tried to leave, these great gals just stood in the doorway and block
their exit.  So, the board had to open up to the public.  Great fun.

1982 GA0 Report For Sen. Jim Sasser on How to Make TVA More
Accountable.
FROM:  TVAINFO <tvainfo@tva.gov> (1/24/08)
In response to question "What are the individual 2008 performance goals for Tom Kilgore?"

At TVA, personal responsibility and accountability is emphasized for each employee in reaching the goals of the
annual Winning Performance Scorecard, or "pay for 'performance."  Our performance targets reflect the
objectives of TVA's Strategic Plan, adopted by the Board in May 2007.

The targets also reflect TVA's three-fold, historic mission:  energy, environment and economic development.  
For FY 2008, Mr. Kilgore's performance compensation is tied in large part to the four targets named in the
2008 Winning Performance Scorecard:

Customers -- includes TVA's delivered cost of power, customer satisfaction survey and energy-efficiency efforts
People -- reflects a top priority for TVA -- a safe workplace for our employees
Financial -- includes, among other things, a reduction in TVA's non-fuel O & M expenses
Assets/Operations -- includes key environmental metrics and equivalent availability factor for our operating fleet.
