Cities and Counties Recognized for Using
Innovative Technology
The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) is proud to announce
the winners of the second annual Arkansas Digital Government
Transformation Awards.
The awards this year recognized the achievements of Arkansas
government offices at the local level that have used technology to
drive innovation and make positive, measurable changes that affect
citizens and businesses across the state and beyond.
INA issued a call for award nominations in June to all city and
county government offices in the state. More than 30 government
offices entered more than 50 nominations, which were evaluated by
the INA Board, the Secretary of State, the Department of
Information Systems director and State Chief Technology Officer,
the state’s Chief Transformation Officer, and Governor Asa
Hutchinson. These individuals chose the winners and finalists in
each category and presented them at an awards ceremony on Sept. 14
in Little Rock.
More than 150 local government leaders and public servants from
across the state attended the event to accept honors.
“It’s easy to talk about transformation, but transformation is
hard work,” said Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. “This year’s
nominations represent many great achievements in digital
transformation. Our office reviewed 53 nominations and we were
impressed by the creativity, innovation and passion for public
service that our cities and counties have demonstrated. The work
these public servants are doing helps the people in their
communities, and I hope the cost savings and improvements
represented by these award-winning initiatives inspire leaders from
around the state.”
