The National Association of State Chief Information Officers on Wednesday capped off its annual conference, in Denver, by naming the recipients of its State IT Recognition Awards program, a group that includes eight states across 10 categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group, which represents the top technology officials in state government, noted in a press release that the annual awards are to honor “technology innovation and excellence in state government. The submissions showcase the use of 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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
