![]() TAGITM, Holy Toledo. So many things to take stock of since my last letter. We had an incredible Super Bowl. (Yes, it was a HOLD!) We rung in a New Year. (It’s already the end of February? How is that possible?) Spy Balloons are all the rage. There is so much else going on all around us, I can’t even remember it all. What I do know is we should add some TAGITM centric things to the list of noteworthy happenings. Here are my top TAGITM things to add:
I know I can speak for the Board when I say we are excited to get everyone together again and have a great annual conference. We’ve got some familiar faces for keynotes as well as new ones. We think you will be motivated, educated and inspired. As always, there are fun events planned. We think there is some great content planned with lots of opportunities to hone your tech skills and/or management skills. We look forward to all of it and to seeing everyone together once again. This is year 45! We might be over the hill, but the best is ahead of us. Come join us for a great week at La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio. Tony Gonzalez, TAGITM President

I hope you are all registered for the upcoming 45th Annual TAGITM Conference. Get ready for "All Systems Go" at one of the loveliest places in Texas, the La Cantera Resort in San Antonio. As your Conference Chair I can assure you we have so many entertaining items planned. The Conference and Education Committees have been working extra hard to provide you with a conference that will top last year’s record-breaking attendance.
Join us on Tuesday for Top Golf after the pre-education session. Then on Wednesday morning we will have our first ever Ladies Networking Breakfast with our friends from Strategic Government Resources (SGR) to facilitate discussion. Education has the instructors from ICMA to deliver a specialized CIO track that will be great for developing and current leaders. Thursday is everyone’s favorite casino and game night, so bring your teams along and plan for a conference to remember! Jennifer Frescaz 2023 TAGITM Conference Chair ![]()

When it comes to cybersecurity, there is a perception that it possible to prevent everything. This can be a dangerous and an impossible goal to achieve. That's where cyber resilience comes into play.

Some of the nation’s top cybersecurity leaders are warning state and local election officials of ongoing foreign and domestic security threats to election systems, and urging them to upgrade their defenses. ![]()

By Fay Young, TAGITM Education Committee Chair
The theme for the 2023 TAGITM Annual Conference is "All Systems Go," but the "education plane" has already left the runway. Two trips have been made through the "cloud," and the big ride of the year, the annual conference, is preparing for take-off. Our first "Ride through the Cloud" was on Dec. 6, 2022, when we traveled to Grand Prairie, TX, for the TAGITM North Texas Regional Summit. Our second "Ride Through the Cloud" was on Feb. 8, when we traveled to The Woodlands, TX, for the TAGITM South Texas Regional Summit. If you missed the trips to the first two destinations, don't worry. There are two more destinations scheduled for this year. Our next stop will be in San Antonio, TX, from April 11-14, 2023, for the TAGITM Annual Conference. TAGITM will celebrate 45 years, and you will want to take advantage of this trip. Registration opened on Feb. 13. Secure your seat now! |
