Columbia, S.C. - Friday, June 6, 2003 - Governor Mark Sanford will announce the formation of the Governor's Commission on Management, Accountability and Performance (MAP) this coming Tuesday, June 10, 2003.

Similar to the Grace Commission created in the 1980's by former President Ronald Reagan, the MAP Commission will be charged with studying the management of current government operations in an effort to propose changes which will reduce costs, consolidate similar functions, return certain functions and job creation to the private sector and help South Carolina become more competitive in a global economy.

Tuesday's announcement and subsequent meeting of the Commission will be held in the Governor's Conference Room on the First Floor of the Wade Hampton Building, with the governor's announcement beginning at 11:00 a.m. For more information please contact Chris Drummond or Will Folks in the Governor's Office at 803-734-2100.
