MISSION: The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) helps the Governor and State agencies provide effective, efficient, and fiscally sound government to the citizens of Maryland through the use of effective budgeting and resource management. We support agency efforts to achieve results by helping them obtain the fiscal, capital, procurement, and personnel resources needed to provide services to Maryland citizens. We are dedicated to providing advice and assistance with professionalism, modern management techniques, and teamwork. We ensure effective budgeting by allocating State resources in ways that provide the most benefit at the least cost to the citizens of the State. We ensure a fair and equitable personnel system in which State employees are able to pursue their careers without discrimination or harassment, job applicants have an equal opportunity to compete for State employment, and individuals requesting services from the State are provided those services without discrimination.
VISION: DBM will advance the interests of the citizens of Maryland in a State government that is well regarded, responsive, and contributes to environmentally sound communities whose residents are well-educated, healthy, safe, and gainfully employed. Our success depends on our employees. The recognition we give to individual effort and teamwork will make our agency a desirable place to work. Our advice and assistance will be actively sought. We will emphasize getting the job done with utmost professionalism.
