Help Others Benefit From Your Experience and Expertise
As part of an on-going project, the Public Performance Measurement and Reporting Network will feature real-world examples on how performance measurement and reporting is being implemented in municipalities, counties, and states across the country. We would like to ask that practitioners submit a short "write-up" about their experience with performance measurement and reporting, so that we can bring this information to the larger community and foster a dialogue nation-wide.
If you are interested in participating in this project to discuss your experience and the efforts of your agency, municipality, county or state, please contact us at ppmrn@andromeda.rutgers.edu
What's in this Issue
In this issue you will find the latest articles published on performance measurement and reporting, upcoming conferences, the most recent federal reports on performance measurement, and details on our public performance measurement certificate program (courses are currently being offered).
