Six members of the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO), including two state chief information officers and four state associate members, were among those named the "Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers of 2005" by Government Technology magazine.

Government Technology's annual top 25 list honors individuals who are redefining and advancing technology's role in government and society.

2005 honorees include the following NASCIO members:
  • P.K. Agarwal, Director, California Technology Services Department-- for his efforts in IT consolidation.

  • George Boersma, Director of Technology Partnerships, Michigan Department of Information Technology-- for advancing IT development in the public arena.

  • Terese Butler, Project Director, California Department of General Services-- for leading California's Strategic Sourcing Initiative, which is expected to generate savings of $170 million over the next three years.

  • Larry Olson, Chief Technology Officer, Texas-- for his efforts to consolidate Texas state data centers, expand cooperative purchasing and implement shared IT services.

  • Laura Parma, Director of Interactive Technologies, Washington Department of Information Services-- for her work in redesigning the state's Web site, Access Washington, using user-focused research.

  • Lemuel C. Stewart Jr., Chief Information Officer, Virginia-- for his IT Transformation initiative, which has streamlined the government's IT infrastructure, ensuring smooth delivery of services to citizens.
In addition to their achievements in advancing IT policies in their home states, several of these NASCIO members have also fostered excellence in government technology through their service and contributions to NASCIO.

Agarwal, a past president of NASCIO, also served as chair of NASCIO's Corporate Leadership Council (CLC) prior to his return to the public sector. Boersma, a former NASCIO officer, currently serves on the association's Health Information Technology committee. Stewart, also a Health Information Technology committee member, and Olson have both served as expert panelists at recent NASCIO conferences.
