PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL REPORT FY 2008
The economic crisis, like no other story, validates the importance of the Partnership's mission to improve government performance and reminds us that, in times of national crisis, we turn to our federal government for solutions.
And, while the economy is highlighting the need for effective government, the 2008 election and subsequent transition are shining a spotlight on another core tenet of our mission: the need to attract a new generation into public service.
This annual report illustrates why our mission has never been more relevant and how our organization has never been better positioned to drive real change in government. It outlines everything we are doing to take advantage of these opportunities and to capture the energy surrounding government today.
