organizations; these are the rock stars of business today.

The first CIO of the Year Awards was not only a trailblazer for recognizing the people leading transformation, but eventually led to creating the Georgia CIO Leadership Association (GeorgiaCIO) – a local, member-centric, professional organization dedicated to helping CIOs foster meaningful relationships, share best practices, solve problems and achieve their leadership potential.

In 2015, we launched BostonCIO and formed the Inspire CIO Leadership Network (InspireCIO), a national professional association for CIOs now with local chapters in Georgia, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Alabama, Charlotte, Houston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, DC and soon to be New York & Bay Area. We are proud to serve CIOs in growing relationships, recognizing professional achievements and inspiring the next generation of technology leaders.

This year, nearly 100 nominations were received for the 2019 Chicago CIO ORBIE Awards, which will honor CIOs across five categories for leadership effectiveness and business value created through innovative use of technology. Finalists and winners are selected through a rigorous, independent judging process led by prior ORBIE winners.

Together, we are making a difference transforming our organizations with technology and Chair, ChicagoCIO enriching Chicagoland and our world.
