ABOUT THE CONFERENCE CITY
PRE-CONFERENCE GOLF OUTING
The Information Systems Management (ISM) affiliate of the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) is the national organization for information technology in state and local government human services. Each year we hold a conference that attracts attendees from throughout the United States and several foreign countries. Attendees include agency executives and managers, CIOs, technical staff, program staff, high-level federal officials, and representatives from the many private sector companies that supply products and services to state and local human services agencies.
Conference speakers have included state governors, agency CEOs, top ranking federal officials, state legislators, agency CIOs, and other nationally recognized experts in information technology for human services.
The ISM officers and executive committee are comprised of agency CIOs and high-level program people who work in IT from California , Colorado , Kansas , Louisiana , Massachusetts , New York , Oklahoma , Oregon , Pennsylvania , Tennessee , Texas , West Virginia , and Wisconsin .
“Leveraging Technology to Strengthen Communities”
The theme of this year's APHSA-ISM conference is reflective of the continuing work in Federal, state, and local governments to strengthen our nation's communities so our citizens can lead more productive and satisfying lives. Human services plays a major role in strengthening communities, especially for people who are poor and disadvantaged. In these times of funding shortfalls, information technology can be leveraged to enable delivery of more effective and efficient human services.
