Preface New and changing requirements for aging programs place a premium on effective management by the Aging Network.
Accountability is tied to clearly defined measurable results and increasingly so is the budget.
This Guide to Performance Based Management was prepared as a support to the Symposium on Performance-Based Management sponsored by the U.S. Administration on Aging, Region VIII, Denver, Colorado and the National Aging Information Center, Washington, D.C., a service of the Administration on Aging. There are many different facets to performance-based management. A full description of the concepts and approaches to performance-based management is beyond the scope of this Guide. Consider the Guide to be a point of departure. As resources permit, additional materials on performance based management will be developed.
