O 806.743.2005
Helen Davenport is a People & Values Advocate
As People & Culture Advocate since April 2018, she welcomes her revised title as a way to shine a spotlight on the TTUHSC values, because not all cultures are of a healthy nature. In her book Built on Values, Ann Rhoades writes. “because the collective behaviors of people in an organization are by definition, the culture, for good or ill, leaders must create the environment that encourages a high-performance culture based on values”. In her work to help strip away the old and unhealthy from the organization, Helen leads five Values Integration Teams in renovating the culture to stand strongly on the solid foundation built by values driven team members of previous years. The Values Integration Teams work to integrate the TTUHSC Core Values into areas of the organization that will drive the sustainability of the culture for generations to come.
