Expertise
Research and analysis in the areas of government management efficiency, public finance, economic analysis, education, human services
Mr. Sittig’s particular interest is helping leaders, communities and nonprofit organizations identify measures that both save money and better allocate scarce resources. He is adept at addressing fiscal, economic and local government issues. In 2010, his work as project manager on a two- part, two-year study for the community of Seneca Falls NY was recognized with a national award from the Governmental Research Association. The national group awarded its Outstanding Policy Achievement Award to CGR for examining ways to reduce the cost of government to stimulate economic growth in the community, and subsequently for helping develop a dissolution plan for the village. Mr. Sittig also speaks to community groups about the state of the NY and U.S economy.
