Winners of the third annual Arkansas Digital Government
Transformation Awards were recognized Friday, September 6 during a
ceremony and banquet held in their honor at the DoubleTree Hotel in
Downtown Little Rock. This annual event hosted by the Information
Network of Arkansas (INA) recognizes the achievements of Arkansas
government offices that have used technology to drive innovation
and make positive, measurable change in the state.
More than 125 state government leaders and public servants
attended the event to accept honors.
INA opened the awards program for nominations from all state
government offices in June. More than twenty state government
projects were submitted, and nominations were evaluated by the INA
Board, the Secretary of State, the Division of Information Systems
director, the Secretary of Transformation and Shared Services, and
Governor Asa Hutchinson. These individuals chose the winners and
finalists in each category and presented them with awards at the
event.
“I’m proud of our state and local leaders for embracing
technology and transforming the way they conduct business and serve
Arkansans,” said Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. “This year’s
nominees continue to impress by their innovative ideas, creativity,
and determination to make their agencies more efficient and
responsive. The lives of Arkansans are easier because of these
