Beyond the Web Page: An e-Government Workshop The University of Illinois at Chicago’s Master of Public Administration program, in partnership with the National Forum for Black Public Administrators, the Illinois City/County Management Association, and the Illinois Municipal League invite you to attend Beyond the Web Page: An e-Government Workshop. Most municipalities and government agencies now have Web sites. Relatively few, however, are taking full advantage of the Internet and related technologies that are revolutionizing communication and service delivery. Technological innovations developed by e-Government pioneers from the Midwest will be one highlight of this one-day workshop. You and your colleagues will be presented with strategies, tips and techniques necessary to: - Use technology to save money - Enhance citizen access - Improve operational effectiveness This interactive event has been designed to meet the specific needs of government managers and policy makers at the local, state and federal levels including: - Police chiefs - Fire chiefs - Public works directors - Parks and recreation directors - Municipal elected officials - State government managers - Federal government managers - And other government or local municipality organizations seeking to add electronic services In addition to break-out sessions in both policy and management tracks, keynote speaker Mr. Phillip Bertolini, Chief Information Officer and Deputy County Executive of Oakland County, Michigan will speak on trends in e-Government. In July, Oakland County was named the second most digitally advanced county in America among counties with populations of 500,000 or more.
