You Are Here: 2005 Award for Excellence in Government Information Services Winner
Every year, The Forum recognizes an individual whose work has definitively contributed to the overall improvement of government information services in New York State. In recent years public sector IT has become far more complex requiring integration across state-level agencies and with the local level. Moreover, government IT operations have become a likely target of external threats requiring a much higher degree of coordination and creative leadership. In today's fiscal environment, all of these challenges become even more difficult. All that is to say that The Forum's Annual Award for Excellence in Government Information Services has taken on new meaning in this complex and dynamic environment we operate in. Achieving "excellence in government information services," as judged by one's peers, is no small accomplishment.
This year's award was presented to Nancy Mulholland, CIO, Workers' Compensation Board.
Nancy was appointed Deputy Executive Director and CIO of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board in September, 2002. She has over 28 years of experience managing IT projects and programs, and has served in executive management positions in various New York State agencies, including the Director of the New York State Project Management Office at the Office for Technology. She served in various IT management and technical positions at the General Electric Company for 12 years before joining state service.
Most notably, Nancy was recognized nationally in 2005 as one of the Computerworld Premier 100 IT Leaders. She has BA from Vassar College, is a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) by the Project Management Institute, is active in the Upstate NY Chapter of the Project Management Institute, editor of the NYS Project Management Guidebook, and originator of the NYS Project Management Mentoring Program.
