State IT Managers and Public Information Officers,

The 2018 NASCIO State IT Recognition Awards Program is now open and accepting nominations, and we're seeking technology projects to enter in this prestigious awards program!

If your department has implemented an innovative technology project in the last year, we would like to hear from you.  This program honors excellence in the use of information technology in state government and gives nominees the opportunity to be showcased at the national level.  Last year we submitted three projects (one of which was named a finalist).

Prospective nominees can email me their one-page outline by Friday, April 6, which should include the following information:

  *   Dates project was initiated and completed (see attached Information Packet for eligibility dates and category descriptions)
  *   Category best aligned with your project
  *   Concept describing dilemma or encouraging civic engagement
  *   Significance and benefits of your project
  *   Impact of your project

Nominees with projects chosen to move forward to the national competition will expand their outlines into full submissions during April and early May, and our office will submit the nominated project entrees to NASCIO by the final deadline of Thursday, May 24.

For your review, I've attached the announcement letter, NASCIO's reference list of State CIO Top 10 Priorities for 2018 and their Information Packet for more details. We look forward to receiving your nominations!

Regards,

Erin Seaman
Assistant to Greg Zickau, Chief Information Officer
