These may include: The disruption of established state procurement processes and other business processes An increased liability risk for the state, particularly relating to homeland security funding A negative impact on the state's architectural direction due to federal architectural mandates The creation of stovepipe state agency systems that cannot be leveraged across the state enterprise due to restrictions on the co-mingling of federal funds. The lingering "side effects" that local governments feel as a result of all of the above. The panel will identify and elaborate on the impact of well-intentioned federal policies associated with federally funded state IT projects and ways in which the unintended consequences of federal funding can be minimized. This constructive dialogue is intended to foster and institutionalize meaningful process change that will serve the states' ultimate constituencies, the taxpayers.

While a daunting challenge and the most significant spiraling cost driver, the opportunity to create meaningful change and make the cost structure of government sustainable is paramount. Come explore what is happening with e-medical records, the foundation from which any semblance of reform will flourish. How does the CIO fit into this landscape? Begin to understand the implications for all the constituents involved (recipients, feds, states, service providers) and how the conversation needs to be shaped to avoid the numerous issues we have all encountered when the conversation was not meaningful and continuing.

3:30 pm - 5:00 pm	CIO/CLC Forum (Closed Session - One CIO per state and one representative per company) Building the Public Private Partnership: Closing the Credibility Gap for the IT Community Moderator: Bruce Leslie, President, Non Profit Strategic Directions In a follow-up to the closed session at the Annual conference held in New Orleans between state CIOs and corporate members, the Corporate Leadership Council (CLC) has developed a session to address ways to strengthen the credibility and trust between state CIOs and the corporate community. From different perspectives, CIOs and private sector IT firms serve as advocates and implementers of information technology. Each are constantly challenged to raise awareness and educate government leaders regarding the important role technology plays. This collaborative session will gather input and ideas from both the corporate and CIO communities and potentially recommend ways to raise the credibility, trust and overall effectiveness of the overall IT industry in the public sector. The session will create a forum to promote more public and private discussions between state CIOs and corporate members who need to work side-by-side to enhance government efficiencies and effectiveness.
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm	Gold Sponsor CIO Reception at the Renwick Gallery
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm	Evening Social Event at the Renwick Gallery A special evening awaits at the Renwick Gallery. Housed in a historic architectural landmark across the street from the White House, the Renwick Gallery was the city's first art gallery. It was designed by James Renwick Jr., who also designed the Smithsonian's Castle in Washington, DC and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. It was saved from demolition in 1965 when First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy led the effort to renovate the historic landmark. The building reopened in 1972 as the home of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's contemporary craft program. Come to the Renwick for a night of great food and refreshment set against the elegant backdrop of this architectural gem.
