We have an obligation to the citizens we serve. The current climate of local and global economic turmoil demands a strategic approach to efficiency and service to our communities. This year's conference will be geared to assist Nevada's technical community in discovering what we can do with what we have. There are significant challenges ahead for government IT in Nevada! I invite you to join me at the upcoming 2008 Nevada Digital Government Summit in Las Vegas so that we can continue to strengthen our partnerships and work towards maintaining a sustainable, diverse and effective Nevada."

Steal This Idea! - Government Edition

Paul Taylor, Ph.D., Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government

Information Technology is a daunting challenge in the best of times, and it is even more difficult today as governments face tightening finances and diminishing revenues. Under such circumstances, the smart thing to do is look for opportunities to borrow ideas from other jurisdictions who have demonstrated savings of time and money in solving major service delivery challenges. But where to look? There are 94,731 city, county and state governments across our nation. This fascinating session provides - at a pace not unlike a 3-day tour of Europe - the best of hundreds of nominees and dozens of winners from the Center for Digital Government's intensive national surveys of best and emerging practices in the public sector IT community. Be prepared to borrow an idea... or 10.

The Multi-Generational Workforce

Ron Crouch, Director, State Data Center, University of Louisville

The workforce and the organizational culture are changing. Baby Boomers have been the dominant voice of the workforce. As they begin retiring in droves, the workforce is shifting to a multigenerational workforce. GenXers and Millennials are moving in and up the organization as Baby Boomers leave. These generations are now working alongside each other, bringing different work ethics, work styles, and motivations to the government work place. What are the characteristics of the different generations? What does it take to motivate and reward the multi-generational workforce? How does Nevada's workforce population compare to the rest of the country? This session will explore these questions and Mr. Crouch's candor and humor keep things lively.
