Arlington, VA – Earlier today the White House
Office of Management and Budget named Carl DeMaio, President
of the Performance Institute, to the nine-member Service
Acquisition Reform Act (SARA) Panel. The SARA Panel
is a federal advisory commission that has been tasked
with developing recommendations for the Administration
and Congress on how to improve acquisition and contracting
policies across the federal government.
In response to the appointment, DeMaio commented, “The
SARA Panel has a unique opportunity to revolutionize
the way the federal government contracts for public
services. We must make government a ‘smarter shopper.’
The panel is a great vehicle for updating federal acquisition
practices to enhance transparency and accountability
for performance. I’m honored to serve the Administration
and Congress in ensuring the federal government is getting
the best bang for the taxpayer’s dollar.
The first meeting of the Panel will be February 9,
2005 from 9:00am-12noon in the Truman Room of the White
House Conference Center. The meeting is open to the
public.
The Performance Institute is a private, nonpartisan
think tank improving government results through the
principles of performance, competition, transparency,
and accountability. The Institute serves as the nation’s
leading authority and repository for on performance-based
management practices for government agencies. Our mission
is to identify, study and disseminate the leading management
innovations pioneered by ‘best-in-class’
public-sector organizations.
