Performance and Accountability

Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Program
Launched January 2003 with grant support provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation of New York City

The mission of AGA's Certificate of Achievement in Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Report Review Program is to stimulate and help state and local governments prepare valuable and comprehensive SEA reports that inform the public, elected officials and management about their governments efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars. To that end, the program reviews reports and provides recommendations to strengthen the reports ability to provide useful information and to recognize through an award structure, those governments that prepare exemplary reports.

AGA, Accenture Join Forces to Continue SEA Program
AGA and Accenture are pleased to announce a partnership involving the Certificate of Achievement in Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Report Review program. Accenture will support the objectives of the SEA Program by assuming the role of technical consultant for the awards program and assist AGA in developing a strategy to jointly recruit and encourage additional participants into the program. The partnership began Jan. 1, 2010. We are excited about this collaborative effort and look forward to building our program with our partner.

"These awards (King County Aims High and King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks) confirm that we are on the right track in demonstrating accountability and transparency in government," said King County Executive Ron Sims. "Performance measures are one of the best tools government has for assessing our effectiveness in delivering vital public services."
