AWARDS & RECOGNITION | 2010 NASCIO State Technology Innovator Award
NASCIO created the State Technology Innovator Award to honor outstanding individuals who have made contributions to advance the state's technology policy agenda through the promotion of best practices, adoption of new technologies and advancements in service delivery.
Eligibility: Through this award, NASCIO strives to acknowledge state leaders, managers and employees who promote innovation, excellence and good government. Nominees must be an employee, elected official, appointed official or other appointee representing state government.
While NASCIO encourages the nomination of Governors for the NASCIO Technology Champion Award given each spring, we request they not be submitted for the State Technology Innovator Award. The State CIO is not eligible for this award, nor are those working for the state under contract with private sector firms.
Selection Criteria:
- Personal leadership and advocacy to advance the state's technology policy agenda
- Adoption of emerging technology, demonstration of best practices and/or innovation in service delivery
Process: Nominations will be accepted from members as well as non-members, and NASCIO staff may also nominate outstanding individuals they encounter in the course of their work. The State Technology Innovator Award Subcommittee will review all nominations and present a final slate of candidates to the Executive Committee for consideration. Up to three individuals may be recognized each year and the final selection is made by NASCIO's Executive Committee.
Nominations for the 2010 State Technology Innovator Award are now closed. The recipient(s) will be announced during a ceremony at NASCIO's Annual Conference on September 27 in Miami, Florida.
