NASCIO All States Innovations Forum: Oregon Puts the Spotlight on ARRA Funding - Stimulus Tracking as a Means to Government Transparency
NASCIO invites you to join an All States Innovations Forum.
The objective of this forum is to present the State of Oregon ORSTATS program and how it has begun to expand to include a variety of government projects beyond stimulus in a way that is leading to greater government transparency and providing new potential for location-based performance measurement.
Please submit advance questions on the registration page. Webinar information will be sent to registrants prior to the call.
This webinar is restricted to government only.
Agenda
Before the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was initiated, the Oregon Legislature appropriated $175 million for a State stimulus program. The Governor's Office, in consultation with the State CIO, decided to tackle the job of reporting on the effect of stimulus spending as an enterprise.
State agencies that are expending public funds on other projects have started to use ORSTATS to visualize and track project expenditures in a way that provides greater government transparency for the public. Local governments are also expressing an interest in ORSTATS for transparency purposes. Ultimately, the objective of ORSTATS is to provide transparency for all government spending.
In this Innovations Forum, we will present an overview of Oregon's ORSTATS and how they are expanding it to visualize and track more than just stimulus projects.
NASCIO will hold a webinar on October 20, 2010:
2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET
1:00 to 2:00 p.m. CT
12:00 to 1:00 p.m. MT
