NASCIO Announces Finalists for 2023 NASCIO State IT Recognition Awards
LEXINGTON, Ky., Tuesday, September 12, 2023 —The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) has selected 31 finalists across 10 categories for the State IT Recognition Awards. Projects and initiatives from NASCIO member states and territories were eligible for nomination. Over 80 NASCIO members served as volunteer judges to review the nearly 100 submissions, narrowing the nominees down to three finalists in each category (with exceptions for ties). From these finalists, a recipient from each category will be announced during the NASCIO Annual Conference in October.
The award nominations showcase the use of information technology to address critical business problems, more easily connect citizens to their government, improve business processes and create new opportunities that improve the lives of citizens. To ensure states have access to the innovations and leading practices of their peers, all award submissions have been added to NASCIO’s Awards Library.
