Governor Chris Gregoire believes every state agency and program must be visibly accountable to Washington citizens. The cornerstone of the Governor’s accountability initiative is Government Management Accountability and Performance (GMAP).
Staff in GMAP help state agencies measure and improve their performance, and achieve results that matter to citizens. The primary focus is working with agencies to prepare performance-based reports for the Governor and her leadership team. These reports use data about agency results to support focused management discussions – in open public forums – between agency leaders and the Governor and her leadership team. Other GMAP projects include:
- Support for the Governor’s Town Hall meetings with citizens.
- Training and technical assistance to state agencies.
- Assistance to agencies working on quality improvement (WSQA).
- Assistance to agencies undergoing performance audits.
- Coordination of the Governor’s “Plain Talk” initiative.
