The Council for Excellence in Government was founded in 1982, and according to their website "is nonpartisan, nonprofit and national in scope." They add that the Council "works to improve the performance of government at all levels; and government's place in the lives and esteem of American citizens. With its experienced staff, network of experts and members, and diverse partners, the Council helps to create stronger public sector leadership and management, driven by innovation and focused on results; and increased citizen confidence and participation in government, through better understanding of government and its role."
