Local Government Management
DTC Room 355
This course will examine the governmental structure in which public administrators work and the administration of major functions in local government. The unique nature and demands of administration at the local level will be examined. One major emphasis in the course is the position of the local government manager – the roles, relationships, and responsibilities that define the local manager’s position. The second emphasis is how managers can assess the delivery of services in local government.
The course will have one evening class both in the first and last week of the summer term and three Friday-Saturday classes. The Friday class will be from 6:00 to 8:40 and the Saturday classes will be from 9:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 4:00. In addition, the students will be required to attend two local government elected-body meetings, for observation and reporting of their findings to the rest of the class. The first class will be held on Tuesday June 3 from 6:00 to 8:40. The subsequent classes will be held on Friday-Saturday, June 13 & 14 – June 27 & 28 – and July 18 & 19.

PA 541: Performance Measurement in Nonprofit and Public Management
DTC Room 355
How can you prove that you are accomplishing what you say you are? Performance measurement is the answer. It is essential to public and nonprofit success and sustainability. It allows an organization to specifically determine what they want to achieve, how specially to achieve it, and how to determine progress towards the stated goals. Governments at all levels, as well as foundations, trusts and other funders now require performance measurement systems to improve management and gain the power to demonstrate results to officials, taxpayers, donors and decisions makers. This is an applied course which will help students understand performance measurement concepts, develop specific performance measures, and apply performance measurement techniques to solve real world problems in both the nonprofit and public sectors.
The course will be taught on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:40. The course will be co-taught by Professors Calia and Melka.
PA 588:
