Benchmarking Best Practices
Friday, October 21, 1:00 – 2:30 PM (ET)
How can local governments learn from each other’s best practices? Join us to hear from Professor David Ammons (Emeritus, University of North Carolina School of Government) about how the university helped local governments in the state find and learn the best practices of top performers. Learn, too, how best-practice benchmarking can be more constructive than other approaches to benchmarking.
Following Ammons’ presentation, several expert panelists - former D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, Orange County Virginia County Administrator Theodore Voorhees, and Strategic Performance Director of WSSC Water serving Montgomery and Price George's County Maryland Yvonne Carney, - will discuss if and how the federal government, states, and local colleges and universities can help frontline governments learn from each other to serve their community better whether dealing with viruses, extreme weather events, fires, public safety, transportation, public health, education, recreation, budgeting, or the many other areas where local governments so directly affect the quality of people’s lives.
This event is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic StatNet and the National Academy of Public Administration’s Intergovernmental Systems Standing Panel and Center for Intergovernmental Partnerships.
