The Chester County government has added a consecutive national recognition for performance management leadership to its list of accolades. The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) recently bestowed a second Certificate of Achievement to the county, recognizing Chester County's use of performance data in local government management, including training, verification, and public reporting established through Chester County's Managing for Results process.
Born of Chester County's Strategic Plan, Managing for Results gives county departments and staff a formula in determining how their work, actions and behavior support the overall strategic direction of the county. Managing for Results also aims to ensure accountability and transparency in Chester County government.
The ICMA Certificate of Achievement is awarded to cities and counties based data collection and verification and the honorees' actions to ensure reliability, train staff in performance measurement, and report the data to the public through budgets, newsletters, and information to elected officials. Chester County is among 16 jurisdictions to receive the Certificate of Achievement and is one of just 60 recognized by ICMA overall across North America.
