Frederick O'Reilly Hayes' legacy as a catalyst for government innovation is celebrated through the Hayes Foundation Prize, awarded to proactive city workers. By introducing modern budgeting techniques during his tenure as Budget Director in 1966, Hayes transformed city agencies into innovative, measurable entities, demonstrating that government can provide significant impact in the lives of citizens. Today, more than 50 years later, the complexity of New York's municipal government continues to necessitate innovative solutions, reflecting Hayes' enduring influence in public service and fiscal management.
"Hayes joined Mayor John V. Lindsay's administration with a radical idea: the Budget Bureau could be a hub for citywide innovation, challenging agencies to measure progress."
"The public expects nothing less than effective government service. Hayes demonstrated that government can change lives while also infusing humor into public administration."
