Thank you for visiting the Division of Administration website. The Division is charged with performing a wide variety of legislatively mandated activities and other required functions of state government, including overseeing the general management of all state finances and financial operations; preparing the Executive Budget and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR); ensuring general fiscal accountability throughout state government; making purchases for state agencies when required by executive order; controlling and assigning state surplus property; maintaining travel regulations for state officials and employees; conducting such planning activities as are necessary to maximize the present and future effectiveness of state government; and administering Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Funds.

With the help of my professional and knowledgeable executive staff, my goal as Commissioner is to lead the Division of Administration and all state government to provide cost-effective, ever-improving service to every citizen of this state.

Reforming government is a constant process requiring continuing innovation, creativity, and vigilance. It is also an effort greatly enhanced by the support and participation of the citizens themselves, and I welcome your ideas and input as we seek to implement reform.
