“Modeled after President Reagan’s Grace Commission, we seek to determine how government can be more productive, efficient and cost effective while providing quality service.

The MAP Commission will identify sound management practices which enhance accountability and performance to better serve South Carolina’s citizens. Input from state employees who are on the frontline of providing services and the public is vital to the success of the Commission. We seek and welcome any suggestions and comments.

South Carolina is blessed with remarkable assets, foremost our people. We can never be satisfied until we do all we can to make our State the best it can be. We are committed to listening and working with the public, state employees and others throughout our state to find ways to make it happen.”
