Measuring outcomes, harnessing “big data,” and creating open platforms can improve your citizens’ trust in, and support for, your county’s efforts. Counties leverage their best efforts to create open and accountable public services for their citizens.
The work of Prince George’s County’s CountyStat office will be featured, alongside insights from Kent County Commissioner William Pickrum and academic and private sector representatives.
