SAA Performance Measurement

NASAA recently refreshed a collection of state arts agency performance measurement reports to share as examples of the many approaches to applying and presenting performance metrics.

Performance measurement efforts often emerge out of state arts agency planning processes, focusing on specific strategic objectives. In other cases, these agencies must follow strict guidelines from the executive or legislative branch, which may define the types of metrics used as well as the way performance measurement data are packaged. This new NASAA resource touches on a variety of approaches used by states.

These examples will prove useful for state arts agencies seeking to develop or refine a performance measurement system. For additional examples, see NASAA’s Showcase of State Arts Agency Strategic Plans or contact Ryan Stubbs or Paul Pietsch.
