NACo adds a new member benefit: Ask the IT Professional

New NACo webinars will target counties with fewer than 50k population and limited IT support staff 

June 22 at 3 p.m. marks the beginning in a series of quarterly webinars that will give smaller counties the opportunity to get their information technology (IT) questions answered by three seasoned IT professionals.  This is a new NACo member-only benefit. The webinars will be led by Jeff Morningstar, NACo’s IT director, along with Alan Shark, PhD and Dale Bowen from Public Technology Institute, now a NACo division.

The webinars are particularly tailored for counties of fewer than 50,000 in population who may only have limited professional IT staff or in some cases no IT staff at all. Each quarter will bring a new topic and participants are encouraged to come armed with questions to ask.  All questions are welcome: NACo IT staff are ready and prepared to assist you!

The topic for June 22 will be We Don’t Have Money for IT — Where Do We Start?  Please sign up for the member-only webinars on the NACo website: http://www.naco.org/it1.

Also, begin writing your questions down today to take advantage of another exclusive member benefit!

Please reserve Sept. 29. when the topic will be Cyber Security — Is It Really a Threat in My County? and Dec. 14 with the topic of How Do We Attract and Keep Professional IT Staff or Should We Consider Outsourcing?

The webinar topics provide a framework to ask questions, but other questions about IT’s impact on your county are also welcome. Mark these dates on your calendar and sign up for the webinars today.
