Customer Utility Boards
In 2012 DAS implemented Entrepreneurial Management as a business model, the core of which is the customer’s voice. For DAS' utility services, this voice is expressed through four Customer Utility Boards that govern each service.

The Customer Utility Boards serve as a forum to recognize and respond to customers’ needs and keep the exchange of information flowing between DAS and state agencies.
