What is the ITCR?

All corporate members automatically become members of the IT Corporate Roundtable (ITCR).  The ITCR meets monthly in Albany and NYC to learn first-hand about trends, priorities and opportunities directly from State and City government IT leaders and policymakers.  ITCR participation is vital to the success of the NYS Forum.  ITCR members may join any workgroup and bring their expertise to the entire membership.  There are no limits of the number of workgroups a member may join or the number of employees who may participate.

What makes us unique?

Workgroups form the nucleus of the NYS Forum's high-quality programming.  These teams of government and IT corporate leaders respond to the education, policy and research needs of New York's IT community.  Activities of the NYS Forum are objective, vendor-neutral and independent.
