Top Executives
Visit Smith for Maryland Tech
Councils
CIO Series
The
Smith School welcomed top executives
to the Technology Council of
Maryland's "CIO Series" on February
23. The CIO Series, produced in
partnership with the TechExec Forum,
was designed to bring together CIOs
from local organizations to share
best practices and address issues of
the day that face the technology
community.
The event was in a panel discussion
format featuring five area CIOs
including:
Ira Hobbs, CIO of the Department
of Treasury;
Gloria Parker, CTO of HUD;
Leslie Bower, CIO of Radio One;
Barry Smith, CIO of Merkel; and Jeff
Huskamp, CIO of the University of
Maryland.
Speaking
on the importance of the event,
Filomena Thompson, director of IT
and advanced technology networks at
the Technology Council of Maryland,
says, This series gave business
people in attendance a chance to
have their questions addressed by
the CIOs, and provided a great
networking opportunity for students
and IT suppliers. All attendants
gained insight into the marketplace,
future trends, employment, and
development opportunities.
