Mayor McShurley Announces Ball Brothers Grant
Mayor Sharon McShurley announced today that the Ball Brothers Foundation has awarded a grant to the High Performance Government Network to help the City of Muncie implement their strategic performance plan.
"I am grateful to the Ball Brothers Foundation for their support as we work to improve the operational performance of city government by focusing on providing high quality core services to citizens," said Mayor McShurley. "In difficult financial times, the Ball Brothers Foundation has provided us with a resource that will make a lasting impact on city government."
The grant will be used to help the City implement the strategic performance plan that was developed earlier this year. The strategic performance plan is the roadmap developed by city government leaders that identifies core competencies and performance improvement opportunities.
The five strategic objectives outlined in the plan are:
. Enhanced information technology;
. Economic Sustainability;
. Strategic Partnering;
. Financial Viability; and
. Employee development.
"The High Performance Government Network is pleased to continue to support Mayor McShurley and the City of Muncie's efforts to improve the operational performance of local government during very challenging economic times," said Ryan Chasey, President of the HPG Network. "The City of Muncie is one of the leading organizations in Indiana at addressing their challenges head-on."
The focus of this grant will be on building an organizational culture that embraces continuous improvement by providing city employees with tools and resources to carry out the goals identified in the strategic performance plan.
