It will be discussed at the next CIO luncheon meeting. Ms. Bean inquired whether the Council was going to provide an information technology education session directed towards the legislators. The Executive Committee members believed there is information the legislators want and that we would like them to have. We should put together a list of important areas that we feel they should hear about and ask them to respond back with the areas that interest them. Legislators need to hear of the importance of having electronic government services.
Legislative leadership is needed for the session.
The sessions should be presented in a fashion they would like. We should plan to hold the session in early January when legislators are beginning to fill their calendars. The session should be held in the Capitol or State Office Building. We will begin the dialogue with some of the legislators before November 10. Jake Manahan, Dave Ruch, Debra Bean, Bev Schuft, and Mel Boynton agreed to begin the list of topic items we would like them to be informed on.
