1. Overview

Quality Governance is participatory, consensus-oriented, transparent, accountable, effective, efficient, and responsive to present and future needs of stakeholders. To achieve this, there are three objectives that we working on. The displays under each objective highlight the actions we're taking to support these objectives, along with the current status of those efforts.

2. Communication & engagement

Inform, engage, and solicit feedback from the community, including boards and commissions, on County projects, policies, and priorities to promote a culture of open communication and collaboration to help foster exceptional customer service.

  1. Monitor and report analytics of reach on the County website and through our newsletters
  2. Monitor community sentiment to ensure we are meeting expectations
  3. Increase methods for community members to provide feedback or participate in the decision-making processes

 

 

 

3. Intergovernmental, Tribal, & regional relationships

Collaborate and problem-solve with the County's major employers; community partner organizations; neighboring Pueblos; and regional, state, and national governmental entities.

  1. Schedule annual meetings with neighboring Tribal Councils to coordinate on topics of mutual interest
  2. Invite Tribes to participate in community events
