AGA’s PMC brings together government
officials who are using performance reports to measure progress
toward achieving their goals every year. Not only can solid
performance measures help governments improve operations, but
they can also communicate to citizens how tax dollars are being
spent.
This unique two-day event brings together 200 leaders in performance reporting from all levels of government, the private sector and academia. Speakers will share best practices, lessons learned and cooperative initiatives among governments. AGA will also recognize governments that have received the Certificate of Achievement in Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Reporting. The PMC offers unparalleled opportunities to network, exchange ideas and share best practices with colleagues and friends.
Become a sponsor to gain visibility and showcase your commitment to the growing field of performance management and SEA reporting. There are a variety of sponsorships to choose from that allow your organization to stand out and gain a competitive edge.
