“It is my honor to present Dave with NASCIO’s prestigious NTC award,” said Craig Orgeron, NASCIO president and chief information officer of Mississippi. “Each year, NASCIO recognizes an individual who has demonstrated a clear understanding for the fundamental and transformational role that IT can play in efficient and effective government operations, and Dave is more than deserving of this recognition.”
