Dear Government Executive:

More than ever, state, county, and local governments across the nation are facing increased pressure to show measurable results to tax payers and other stakeholders. Attend the "City, County, State Performance Measurement Summit West" to learn proven strategies, cutting-edge techniques, and innovative performance measurement solutions to help you do more with less and drive a performance culture in your government organization. Learn how to transform your agency to be more results-oriented.

Managing for results is the backbone of a successful, innovative, high-performing government agency. Using performance measures to track past performance and forecast future outcomes is critical to results. Measurement helps to clarify people's responsibilities, forms a sound, logical basis upon which to allocate resources, and ensures a goal-oriented focus for mission execution.

WHY CAN'T YOU MISS THIS CRITICAL CONFERENCE?

Tracking the performance of your organization requires effective systems, a dedication to high-caliber performance and an understanding of how measurement is the key accountability tool for reaching goals in your strategic plan. It's difficult, but well worth the effort. When your strategic efforts are aligned with your measurement processes, your organization's success rate increases. Without effective performance tracking and measurement, you cannot correct mistakes you may not even know you are making.

Since performance information is being used to make budget allocations in today's increasingly tight times, it is crucial to stay on track and link performance to resources as well as results. Agencies that have developed clear performance measures have a better chance of showing how much "bang for the buck" they can get.

HOW WILL THIS CONFERENCE HELP YOU & YOUR AGENCY?

• City of Miami Beach, Florida obtained measurable results focused on strategic community priorities in a short time period, while ensuring the effective use of resources
• Santa Clara County, California established a cost accounting system and integrated that information into budgeting and performance management
• State of Washington Transportation Improvement Board implemented a performance dashboard to deliver high-level performance reporting for management decision making

If you're charged with the task of defining or monitoring your organization's progress toward achieving its strategic goals and ensuring continuous improvement, then this is a can't-miss event! I look forward to welcoming you to this unique benchmarking forum this December to share best practices and practical advice to help you achieve results in your own agency.
