Georgia GMIS Spring 2021 Conference
Dear Georgia GMIS Members,
The Georgia GMIS Board of Directors invites you to attend the 2021 Spring Conference being held virtually on May 2 – 6, 2021. Our theme is “Learning Interactively Outside the Norm”, in recognition on the perpetual changes in our world today.
The third cohort of the CGCIOTM (Certified Government Chief Information OfficerTM) program will be continuing their coursework. The LGCIO (Local Government Chief Information Officer) program’s leadership curriculum will cover Inspired Leadership and Resolving Conflict. The technical curriculum with include Building an Incident Response Plan and Strategic/Long‐term Budgeting. We are planning several enrichment sessions such as Smart Cities and GIS 3D mapping. Back by popular demand, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will make its inevitable return. We have an exciting Geek Trak lined up as well with Dederick Scott leading training on Network Security Monitoring.
The GA GMIS Board will continue to work with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, scheduled trainers and vendors to provide you more detailed information. Please be on the lookout for email announcements and monitor the website for updated information.
Sincerely,
Larry J Hobbs Jr., CGCIOTM, LGCIO
