Real Story #3: Citizen Driven Performance: Truckee Meadows Tomorrow and Washoe County, Nevada
Author: Zanny Marsh, Past President Truckee Meadows Tomorrow Board of Directors
Date: 2012
Abstract: Truckee Meadows Tomorrow (TMT) was crafted out of an Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) committee in response to research showing quality of life as the major reason businesses relocated to the region. TMT started as an “organization of organizations,” whose members helped spread the idea at the grassroots level that indicators could be used to measure the region’s quality of life in relation to the impacts of growth. TMT has introduced citizen engagement programs to promote quality of life in their everyday lives. Washoe County was one of the first governmental organizations to use TMT indicators to advance the county’s mission and to measure staff performance. As an early partner with TMT, Washoe County first used the indicators in environmental scans and strategic planning. The Board of County Commissioners officially adopted five indicators in 1998, pledging improvement actions as part of TMT’s Adopt an Indicator Program.
