Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Program
Launched January 2003 with grant support
provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation of New York City
The
mission of AGA's Certificate of Achievement in Service Efforts
and Accomplishments (SEA) Report Review Program is to stimulate
and help state and local governments prepare valuable and
comprehensive SEA reports that inform the public, elected
officials and management about their governments efficient and
effective use of taxpayer dollars. To that end, the program
reviews reports and provides recommendations to strengthen the
reports ability to provide useful information and to recognize
through an award structure, those governments that prepare
exemplary reports.
AGA, Accenture Join Forces to Continue SEA Program
AGA and Accenture are pleased to announce that their
partnership involving the Certificate of Achievement in
Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA) Report Review
program will continue. Accenture will continue to provide
the services of the technical consultant, Christopher Ryan,
to assist in reviewing SEA (performance) reports. The
partnership began Jan. 1, 2010.
