ICMA Certificate of Distinction in Performance Management (PDF)
The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) is pleased to announce that Phoenix, Arizona, has been recognized for its data-driven management and reporting efforts with a Certificate of Distinction for 2019. “Performance management is a bedrock principle of professional local government management,” ICMA Executive Director Marc A. Ott said. “By recognizing these leaders, ICMA hopes to encourage others to make a commitment to collect and analyze data, report it transparently, and use it to continuously engage their communities and improve their organizations." Certificates of Distinction are awarded to those who also provide comparative and benchmarking information to the public, use performance data in strategic planning and operational decision-making, and share their knowledge with other local governments through presentations, site visits, and other networking activities. Phoenix is among 19 jurisdictions receiving the Certificate of Distinction and one of 63 recognized overall. This is the 18th year the city’s performance management efforts have been recognized by ICMA.
A complete list of recipients and examples of programs that exemplify the certificate criteria appear on the Certificate Program page on the ICMA website. ICMA will officially recognize recipients at its 105th Annual Conference in Nashville/Davidson, Tennessee, October 20-23, 2019.
