The Puget Sound GMAP Performance Data
Washington’s Government Management Accountability and Performance (GMAP) program is a best practice approach to leaders reviewing and improving the performance of government agencies in select areas of greatest concern to the State’s leaders. Our State’s GMAP program is a role model effort led personally by the State’s Governor that is being benchmarked by leaders from other states and leading organizations around the world interested in ‘ensuring accountability by publicly measuring performance’ ... the GMAP way.

At the April 2011 Puget Sound GMAP meeting, the Governor asked PSP to choose three concrete, outcome-oriented actions to accomplish. One of those items will be enacting a plan to recover the shellfish beds in the Samish Bay, with the goal to make significant progress on the plan within six months. In addition, the Department of Fish and Wildlife was charged with developing an immediate plan within the next two months for Steelhead, to identify their critical basins and create a discrete set of actions. Jay Manning, the Governor’s Chief of Staff, stated that the potential extinction of the Steelhead was the “very definition of failure to restore the Sound”. Again, the Partnership was asked to be involved in this work.
The full report for this first quarterly, Natural Resources GMAP Forum focusing on our collective efforts to improve the health of Puget Sound is now available on the GMAP website at:

Lots of good information is available there to help us understand more about both the status of the Sound’s health and our collective efforts to improve the health of the Sound!
