Institutions of all kinds--government, business, education--are full of great ideas, targeted strategic plans, and innovative technology solutions. What makes some successful and others fall short? Strong leadership can make the difference. Great leaders have a unique ability to envision change and communicate that vision with enthusiasm that inspires people to come together to make the change a reality.

We can all learn from successful and effective leaders. Their vision, passion and determination make them exemplary role models, creative innovators and powerful partners. This distinguished panel will share their insights about what it takes to embody these characteristics and will explore how these same qualities can be applied to make CIOs successful in their own quest to improve the workings of state government and deliver better service to citizens.

• Bill Pound, Executive Director, National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL)
• Ray Scheppach, Executive Director, National Governors Association (NGA)

With 37 gubernatorial elections in November 2010, the transition will be more challenging and transformational than any in decades. There is a convergence of sustained fiscal stresses, continued catalytic effects of the ARRA, and new performance and accountability standards which are fundamentally restructuring and redefining government. The slow economic recovery points to a 'New Normal' under which the states will have to operate. But, innovative new approaches are driving cross-boundary business solutions and partnership models. For those in the public and private sectors, this will mean unprecedented adjustments and unanticipated opportunities. This panel of national association leaders will offer insights on the state policy agenda, emerging issues and the implications for state CIOs and their corporate partners.

Speakers:

• Brian Fontes, Chief Executive Officer, National Emergency Number Association (NENA)

Until recently, broadband has been primarily confined to the wireline carriers, but the landscape is evolving and there are important implications for the states. Mobile wireless broadband is the fastest growing segment of the broadband market. Whenever, wherever consumer use is not the only driver. Wireless broadband can help bridge the "last mile" to underserved communities, and also has important applications for health, education and public safety communications.

With all of the recent advances, where should state CIOs start? Hear about the FCC's National Broadband Plan and its implications for the future. How can these new technologies be leveraged into opportunities for the states? What can CIOs do to influence the direction of their state? Join this panel of experts for a discussion of the changing communications landscape and the ramifications for public sector policies.

Keynote Speaker: Gene L. Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office

Gene L. Dodaro became Acting Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office on March 13, 2008.

Mr. Dodaro has testified before Congress dozens of times on important national issues. Most recently he has testified on the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, federal assistance to the auto industry, U.S. involvement in Iraq and Pakistan, the federal government’s financial condition and fiscal outlook, and the need to modernize the U.S. financial regulatory system. He has led efforts to fulfill GAO’s new audit responsibilities in connection with the 2008 Economic Stabilization Act to help stabilize financial markets and institutions, as well as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – the stimulus legislation designed to combat the economic downturn. Under Mr. Dodaro, GAO has also undertaken initiatives such as a new transition web page and a new high-risk list to help bring to the attention of the 111th Congress and the new administration the major challenges GAO has identified across the federal government, from improving food safety to rebuilding transportation infrastructure.

As Acting Comptroller General, Mr. Dodaro helps oversee the development and issuance of hundreds of reports and testimonies each year to various committees and individual Members of Congress. These and other GAO products have led to hearings and legislation, billions of dollars in taxpayer savings, and improvements to a wide range of government programs and services.

In a GAO career dating back more than 30 years, Mr. Dodaro has held a number of key executive posts. For 9 years, Mr. Dodaro served as the Chief Operating Officer, the number two leadership position at the agency, assisting the Comptroller General in providing direction and vision for GAO’s diverse, multidisciplinary workforce. Mr. Dodaro led the development of GAO’s strategic plans for serving Congress and improving government in the 21st Century. He also played a key role in guiding the agency’s efforts to highlight current and emerging issues that warrant attention from policymakers.

Until 1999, Mr. Dodaro headed GAO’s Accounting and Information Management Division, the agency’s largest unit, which specialized in financial management, computer technology, and budget issues. While there, he directed the first-ever audit of the comprehensive financial statements covering all federal departments and agencies. Mr. Dodaro also helped conceive GAO’s strategy for strengthening computer security governmentwide and led the updating of standards for internal controls in the federal government.
