OPPIA is optimistic that performance can be improved. Because the world changes rapidly, the public sector should spend significant effort on continuous improvement.

 

We believe:

​Improvement methodologies vary, but lasting success starts with shared principles, practical tools, and leadership-driven culture change. OPPIA invites you to join us on this journey.

​

Our goals are to:

Promote a shared understanding of performance measurement best practices; provide resources, training, and collaborative forums to strengthen performance management skills; and foster open, informed dialogue among public employees and Oregon citizens to improve public sector performance.

 

Membership:

​OPPIA includes individuals from diverse backgrounds and organizations interested in public performance improvement, management, or measurement. Members may be removed by a 2/3 vote of the executive committee, with the option to appeal at the annual meeting.

 

The ability to share knowledge and pool resources is fundamental for members, enabling them to keep up to date in a field that is developing and moving at a rapid rate.

 

Members can join the OPPIA listserv which sends out periodic emails discussing relevant practices and research in performance improvement. The emails also share information on upcoming events including the OPPIA annual conference and the Lunch and Learns.
