Government Experience Awards 2019 Winners Announced
The Center for Digital Government announced winners of its 3rd annual Government Experience Awards, honoring U.S. governments who are offering citizens increasingly sophisticated digital user experiences.
September 18, 2019 - The Center for Digital Government today announced the winners of the 3rd annual Government Experience Awards.
The awards recognize the achievements and best practices of states, cities and counties that are radically improving the experience of government and pushing the boundaries of how citizen services are delivered. Top government jurisdictions, agencies and departments will be honored at an awards event Sept. 27 in Denver, Colorado.
“This year’s results are evidence that state and local government agencies are continuing to grow the sophistication of their digital experiences,” said Dustin Haisler, chief innovation officer for the Center for Digital Government. “The Government Experience Award winners from this year are not just leveraging innovative tools like chatbots to amplify their reach, they are also going the extra mile to build a proper foundation to support the future and ensure citizens get the right information at the right time.”
