This partnership will bolster the ability of PTI, NACo, and NLC to support public sector leaders in addressing pressing technology issues. The alliance will also provide additional technology expertise at NACo and NLC events throughout the year. With the new partnership, NACo will house PTI's personnel and assume its administrative operations at its North Capitol Street headquarters. PTI will provide mutual program support to NACo in developing cutting-edge technology resources for America's city and county governments. "Given the technology opportunities and challenges facing county government - from big data and data-driven decision-making to cybersecurity and digital communications - we're confident that working with PTI will help position America's counties to build healthier, safer and smarter communities," said Matthew Chase, NACo executive director. "From the beginning, PTI has provided city governments with technology solutions that address local challenges and help them better serve their residents. We look forward to continuing to work together to educate and inform local officials on the technology issues that impact their communities," said NLC CEO and Executive Director Clarence E. Anthony. We couldn't be more pleased as we navigate the many exciting and collective opportunities moving forward. Today, more than ever, policy and technology are intertwined, and we need to work harder at bridging any gaps that may exist between elected leaders and public managers, as well as technology executives and practitioners. Sincerely, Dr. Alan Shark Executive Director PTI ABOUT PTI The national, non-profit Public Technology Institute supports local government executives and elected officials through research, education, executive-level consulting services and national recognition programs. ―― View topic http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/72MGh6TNGXkfl7Tjg1SOc2 Leave group mailto:newswire@groups.dowire.org?subject=Unsubscribe
