 Throughout Wisconsin, counties, local units of government and other partners are working together to deliver valuable services with fewer resources. Cooperative service initiatives, regionalization of services and other innovative approaches are helping governments do more with less. In 2003, the Wisconsin Good Government Award Program was established to recognize the best of these efforts.
The Wisconsin Good Government Award Program is proudly sponsored by Foth, a Wisconsin-based consulting engineering firm, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Counties Association and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities. Good Government Award winners are recognized at the annual conventions of these organizations in October.
For more information on how to apply for this award, visit the new website at www.wisgoodgov.com.
