 Keynote Presentation
Neil Howe
Author, Historian, and Economist
Neil Howe is a renowned authority on generations in America and has spoken and written extensively on the collective personalities of today’s generations-who they are, what motivates them, and how they will shape America’s future.
Howe has co-authored several best-selling books on generations with William Strauss. Their second book, 13th Gen, was released in 1993 and remains the best-selling nonfiction book ever written about Generation X. Published in 2000, Strauss and Howe’s fifth book Millennials Rising has been widely quoted in the media for its insistence that today’s new crop of teens and kids are very different from Generation X, and, on the whole, doing much better than most adults think. They have since written several application books on Millennials-including Millennials and the Pop Culture, Millennials Go To College and the soon to be released Millennials in the Workplace.

eGovernment 2.0: Serving Generation Next
Moderator: PK Agarwal, Director, Department of Technology Services, State of California
Panelists: David Fletcher, Chief Technology Officer, State of Utah
Tara Hunt, Citizen Agency, LLC
Fred Smith, Senior Technologist, New Media Technology Team, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Ron Thornburgh, Secretary of State, State of Kansas
Technology has made life easier for the average consumer and at the same time has raised basic expectations regarding availability of resources and services. The Digital Native generation not only expects conveniences like 24-7 access, they also desire enhanced content that was once unimaginable within the framework of government. Incorporating these new concepts is critical to serving the needs of an increasingly diverse population. Government must understand Generation Next as both a customer and a member of the workforce. How will state governments integrate social networking and rich media into service delivery strategies?
This session will examine how government technology leaders can manage the culture shift to assure future success including creating, managing and delivering the right services at the right time. This roundtable will explore the evolving communication and work styles, delivery expectations and potential concerns of this Digital Native generation and how they will impact government. Panelists will also examine ways that government can engage constituents and encourage active participation to better meet the needs of all citizens.

Yours, Mine and Ours - Shared Services Solutions and the State
Moderator: Kyle Schafer, Chief Technology Officer, Office of Technology, State of West Virginia
Panelists: Reg Alcock, Executive-in-Residence, University of Manitoba and former member, Parliament of Canada, and former President, Treasury Board of Canada
Mollie Anderson, Director, Department of Administrative Services, State of Iowa
Paul Campbell, Vice President, Public Sector, United Healthcare
In recent years states have explored different solutions to help alleviate concerns about budget deficits and bleak revenue forecasts. Consolidating IT infrastructure was one popular solution. Shared services models present another alternative for efficiencies and savings. Although the budget situation has eased over the last few years, the desire to reap these savings and benefits has continued.
Today states are looking for new opportunities to consolidate processes and share services between agencies. The private sector has often led the way in shared services initiatives. The federal government and many foreign governments have embraced this concept. What lessons can the states learn from these groups? As Cabinet and Department heads are examining other common processes such as leasing, fleet management, legal services, purchasing, contract management, travel services, permitting and licensing, how can IT play a role in establishing efficiencies? And, is shared services always the answer? This panel will bring together veterans from the public and private sector to share their experiences, identify common hurdles, and look to the future of government shared services.

The Greening of IT: Environmental Policy and the State CIO
Moderator: Dugan Petty, Division Administrator and State CIO, Enterprise Information Strategy and Policy Division, Department of Administrative Services, State of Oregon
Panelists:
Dmitriy Nikolayev, Procurement Manager, Facilities and Environmental Services, Operational Services Division, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Bonnie J. Richardson, AIA, LEED AP, Architect/Principal Planner, Transportation Division, City of Tempe
Steve Sams, Vice President, Global Site and Facilities Services, IBM
Renee St. Denis, Director, Americas Product Recycling Solutions, HP
As environmental concerns rise to the top of the agenda for lawmakers and citizens alike, the IT community must also reevaluate its energy consumption and use of resources. Data centers are major consumers of power and the IT industry accounts for 3% to 4% of the total energy usage in the US - and growing. eWaste is also an ever expanding issue. As newer and faster products replace the ones we are using today, what happens to the old hardware? What requirements do states have to manage the life cycle of technology equipment, including disposal or recycling of the components? As “green” becomes the moral imperative of the 21st century, what role should the state CIO play in meeting this global challenge? This session will highlight the strategies of some of the leading public and private sector practitioners as they respond to the increasing demand for green policies and practices.

Data Breach! What State Officials Need to Know About IT Security, Planning and Response
Moderator: Chris Cummiskey, Chief Information Officer, Government Information Technology Agency (GITA), State of Arizona
Panelists: Sol Bermann, JD, CIPP, Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Information Technology, State of Ohio
Dan Lohrmann, Chief Information Security Officer, Department of Information Technology, State of Michigan
Joanne McNabb, CIPP/G, Chief, Office of Privacy Protection, Department of Consumer Affairs, State of California
You have heard these stories in the news: Citizen and state employee names and sensitive personal information were lost in a data theft because a state employee did not follow proper procedures with respect to a laptop computer. A disk is missing with sensitive information, including health information of millions of health services recipients. A government computer system was hacked, exposing the personal information of countless citizens. It should be no surprise that, in the first half of 2007 alone, over seventy public institutions reported data breaches to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.
Now, hear how you can help prevent similar breaches from occurring in your state and how to react if one does. This panel will cover ways to secure data held by government entities from technical, policy, and employee-related perspectives. We’ll provide you with a holistic framework for data protection and guidelines for crisis communications planning to help states frame an appropriate response.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: Pressures on the State IT Workforce
Moderator: Milford Sprecher, Director of Alliances, SAP Americas
Panelists:
Kay Adams, Senior Executive, Human Performance Group, Accenture
Glenn Davidson, Managing Director, Public Sector Practice, EquaTerra
Dan Ross, Chief Information Officer, State of Missouri
Naomi Wyatt, Secretary of Administration, Governor's Office of Administration, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
The aging of the public sector workforce is well-documented. Public employers are facing a loss of experienced employees and in many cases a talent shortage as they look to replace and hire workers with the necessary skills. The impact this will have on state government IT is commonly acknowledged as a challenge state CIOs now confront and will face for several years in the future. What are the viable options? What approaches have proved successful? This topic is often discussed, yet little research has been done to further examine this important issue.
NASCIO’s Corporate Leadership Council, in conjunction with state CIOs, conducted a national survey to help identify the pressing challenges facing state CIOs with respect to workforce issues and the scope and impact of this urgent problem.
The response rate to this survey was extraordinary and provides valuable information regarding the pressures on the state IT workforce. The respondents addressed the impact on anticipated retirements, the projected skills gap, employee recruitment and retention challenges and options for staffing and delivery structure.
Experts from both the public and private sectors will deliberate and debate the results of the survey and offer insights into how state CIOs may prepare now and for the changing workforce of the future.

The Challenge of Electronic Records in the Digital Age
Moderator: Gary Robinson, Chief Information Officer, State of Washington
Panelists: Jason Baron, Director of Litigation, National Archives and Records Administration
Adam Jansen, Deputy State Archivist, State of Washington
Bill LeFurgy, Project Manager for Digital Initiatives, National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), The Library of Congress
Government records aren’t just in paper form anymore. They range from “born digital documents” that are never in paper form to begin with, to communications that take place via email and instant messaging technologies. Even resources like websites and geospatial data, that are constantly being updated to stay current, must be preserved as snapshots in time so that information is not lost to future generations.
State CIOs play an ever-increasing role regarding the lifecycle of electronic records management. This issue has recently emerged in prominence due in part to IT impacts and potential liability concerns regarding “e-discovery” or the electronic records, documents and communications that could be requested during the discovery phase of litigation. However, the issue has much broader impacts for states as we consider all of the information currently stored in electronic form. This panel will examine the role of the CIO in preserving states’ digital data and the business drivers behind these efforts.

Fast Forward: Technology Serving an Aging Population
Moderator: Peter Kress, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Inc.
Participants:
Debbie Burcham, Chief Deputy Commissioner, Department for the Aging, Commonwealth of Virginia
Jill Sherman Pleasant, MA, OTR/L – Director, The Arizona Technology Access Program (AzTAP), Northern Arizona University
Ryan Spaulding, PhD, Director, Center for Telemedicine, University of Kansas
As healthcare costs continue to strain state budgets, states are under pressure to identify cost-effective means to manage the healthcare needs of citizens. With the anticipation of the aging baby boomer generation placing additional strain on an already burdened healthcare system, technology can be viewed as a way to improve care while providing vital cost reductions.
Advances such as telehealth initiatives, remote monitoring and intelligent homes, and easier access to health information online, are already helping to reach parts of the population that do not have readily available access to hospitals or physicians offices, including the elderly. State CIOs can play a role in guiding these initiatives as part of a state’s existing health IT efforts. Working to improve access and helping to develop privacy and security standards for health information exchange and telemedicine programs can build trust among a segment of the population that may not be familiar with or comfortable using technology.
This panel will explore a range of issues related to the technology needs of an aging population and how the state CIO can be involved in meeting these needs.

Collaborations and Partnerships - The Benefits of Bridging Boundaries
Moderator: Otto Doll, Commissioner and Chief Information Officer, Bureau of Information and Telecommunications, State of South Dakota
Panelists:
George Boersma, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Department of Information Technology, State of Michigan
Kathleen Harnish-Doucet, CEO, TeamTech, Inc., founders and project managers for The Kansas Collaborative
Tom O'Keefe, San Bernardino Unit Chief, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, State of California
Donna Ramos Johnson, Director, Human Services Modernization Program, Office of the Chief Technology Officer, District of Columbia
Citizen demands placed on government today require public agencies to cross organizational boundaries to collaborate across state borders, among agency lines, with other branches of government, and as part of public-private partnerships in order to share data and achieve joint goals. Establishing sound policy at the outset of collaboration can help ensure a successful collaborative effort, as well as determining a governance model, establishing fiscal responsibility, building trust and communicating benefits to crucial decision-makers. Cross-boundary collaboration allows entities to work together to deliver related services, and meet common goals resulting in benefits for citizens and a more efficient government. This conference session will highlight success stories and examine lessons learned from various collaborative efforts underway in state government.
