----- http://www.govtech.net/magazine/channel_story.php/104248 New York City Mayor Receives Award for Technology Leadership Mar 05, 2007 News Release Story Art New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg received the Pathfinder Award on Friday from the Kennedy School of Government's Leadership for a Network World (LNW) program. Bloomberg was honored for starting New York City's 311 hotline and other innovative programs. He told the Kennedy School audience that technology has the power to "close the gap between what we know needs to be done, and what actually gets done." Bloomberg also recently appointed Avi Duvdevani -- CIO of the New York City Housing Authority -- to the New York City Broadband Advisory Committee. The committee, said Bloomberg in a letter to Duvdevani, "will provide important guidance on broadband deployment and trends in New York City to ensure that our city remains in the forefront of information technology developments. It will also provide valuable input to the ongoing work of the Telecommunications Policy Advisory Group." Other Mayoral Representatives on the Committee are: * Mitchel Ahlbaum, general counsel and deputy commissioner for telecommunications services, DoITT * Shaun M. Belle, president and CEO, Mount Hope Housing Company * Thomas Dunne, vice president of public affairs, policy and communications, Verizon New York * John J. Gilbert III, executive vice president/ COO, Rudin Management Company. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TELECOM-CITIES Current searchable archives (Feb. 1, 2006 to present) at http://www.mail-archive.com/telecom-cities@forums.nyu.edu/ Old searchble archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/telecom-cities@googlegroups.com/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
