Abstract

The Center for Technology in Government at the University at Albany (CTG UAlbany) plays a leadership role with the NYS Local Government Information Technology Directors Association (NYSLGITDA) in that UAlbany serves as an Advisor to the Association. As part of this role, CTG UAlbany fosters information sharing and provides support to NYSLGITDA members so that they can communicate their collective challenges and priorities to wider audiences.

At the Fall 2021 Conference NYSLGITDA members from 33 counties, 3 cities, and 6 towns participated in a survey aimed at gathering information on the challenges IT leaders faced in supporting their local governments during NYS’s PAUSE as well as their priorities and possible funding for the next year.  This document summarizes results from that survey.
