A new research project on Using Performance Measures to Improve State and Local Governments' Service Delivery will determine the extent to which performance measures are being used in government to improve service delivery, regardless of the level of government, and then following up with a focus on successful practices in applying these techniques to achieve performance goals and provide quantifiable value. Get a preview of the new research project by hearing from government leaders that are using such measures to drive effective and efficient operations.

Join Evie Barry, MS, AGA Director of Performance Reporting, who will briefly describe the research project; Fred Klunk, Program Performance and Projection Manager, Research and Development Division, Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, and Rebekah Stephens, Planning and Performance Coordinator, Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County who will explain their process as they moved toward reshaping service delivery based, in part, on data. See how your government can step up to the plate by hearing from these pioneers.

Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speakers' commentary, there will be approximately 20 minutes for Q&A so that the participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences.
