Both operations and administrative staff members at Mustang SUD know that they can come to Emily for GIS solutions that improve efficiency, tracking, and communication across the organization. She has created a culture where staff have bought in and understand the value that the GIS Department provides.
Emily McBroom | Mustang Special Utility District
Emily pioneered the transition from paper to a digital map for Mustang's facilities and infrastructure. She has been instrumental in creating GIS applications that track and improve operational efficiency for all Mustang employees.
Her GIS trackers help the district monitor capital improvement planning, development reviews, and visually organize where infrastructure repairs and inspections have been completed. Emily often assists with special projects—her latest is mapping revised board member districts, which will be used for future elections.

Clint Dickerson | Mustang Special Utility District
Clint is responsible for capturing field data for infrastructure and ensuring that it is accurately displayed with GIS technology.
Previously a meter technician, his knowledge of infrastructure and the relationships he’s built with field staff help him coordinate with different inspectors, construction crews, and operations staff to ensure infrastructure maps are up to date. Clint led the initiative to digitize and upload as-built infrastructure plans into a GIS, giving staff the ability to view plans in the field and access the information they need without delays.

Clint has an eagerness to implement GIS in any way possible. His positive attitude and ability to maintain good working relationships with our operations folks make them want to work with GIS and understand all it has to offer. We would not have as much organizational buy in or success as a department if it was not for Clint.
