Adelman
The
Good Government Award for 2002 is given to Andrew Adelman,
General Manager of the City of Los Angeles Department
of Building and Safety.
We created this award to acknowledge Andrew and his
team for demonstrating that positive, revolutionary
change can occur in government, despite the thickest
of bureaucracies. They have created a new culture of
service. They are doing more with less, and asserting
a positive leadership role in this significant area
of public policy. The transformation of the Los Angeles
Building and Safety Department that Andrew has directed
has been nothing short of miraculous. We hope that by
our recognition, the City of Los Angeles will be able
to apply some of the lessons learned in your efforts
to other areas of City Governance. |
