He was later employed by the Maryland State Department of Education as architect for the Maryland School Construction program.

Harry P. Hatry
Yale 1952
M.S. Columbia

From graduation until 1962, Harry was busy working for a General Electric research facility in Santa Barbara, earning a M.S. from Columbia's Graduate School of Business and serving a two- year stint in the Army at White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico. This was followed by three years with McNamara's whiz kids in the systems analysis operation of the Department of Defense.

With the formation of The Urban Institute in 1968, Harry became program director focusing on public management issues at local, state and federal levels. Today he serves as Director, Public Management Program at the Urban Institute where he has won countless awards for his work in advancing government accountability.

Four of his publications are included in this exhibit:

How Effective Are Your Community Services? Procedures for Measuring Their Quality is one of the first reports that laid the groundwork for moving local governments from their focus on activities to a focus on service quality from the viewpoint of citizens. This introduced two “new” data collection procedures: surveys of public agency customers and ratings of physical condition.

Practical Program Evaluation for State and Local Governments (Urban Institute 1973 and 1981) is the Institute's all-time best seller, having sold over 50,000 copies, and is used in many university schools of public administration and political science to introduce the concepts of evaluating public programs.

Performance Measurement: Getting Results is a comprehensive review of the field of performance measurement for public and private nonprofit agencies. It also explores how managers can make that information useful to them for continuous service improvement.

Making Results-Based State Government Work identifies best practices by state governments in moving towards more citizen-focused state government. This has gained more importance as the federal government has given more responsibility to the states.
