Dear Sponsors and Partners,

On behalf of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, I would like to thank you for being a generous sponsor of the Government Technology Institute (GTI) and its affiliated Centers. Your support enables the Institute to educate IT Leaders through its programs, summits, professional development, trainings, workshops and community events. Each year, more than 1,500 participants attend conferences at our Harrisburg and Philadelphia locations, such as our CyberSecurity Awareness Summit, Agile Lean Summit, Data Analytics Summit, and GeoDev Summit. Thousands more joined virtually through LiveStream. Without your support, these opportunities would not be possible. As we continue to expand, we look for new ways to provide additional visibility and value to our spon-sors – through networking opportunities, sponsor tables at events, prominent logo placement on digital signage and our website, additional speaking opportunities, a new newsletter, and sponsor luncheons. This brochure serves as a comprehensive overview of the GTI overall and your sponsorship benefits. We invite you to share all of the wonderful things taking place at both our Harrisburg and Philadelphia locations and encourage you to continue to use the many sponsor benefits throughout the year at Harrisburg University. Sincerely,

Kelly Powell Logan Vice President of Strategic Workforce Development & University Centers

GTI PROGRAMS

IT EXECUTIVE ( ITE) PROGRAM

GTI’s signature initiative, formerly the Chief Information Officer (CIO) certificate program, targets the unique challenges of public and private sector IT executives. Today’s IT executives require sophisticated skillsets in leadership, strategy, and management. The ITE immerses IT leaders in a comprehensive study of execu-tive-level issues, including IT strategy and planning, governance, security, workforce development and the skills necessary to earn a seat at the executive table. Through the program, current and aspiring senior-level IT executives earn the Certified Government CIO (CGCIO) certification, 6 college credits that can be applied to a master’s degree at HU, in addition to learning to manage the demands of their increasingly complex roles.Nearly 100 CIOs or aspiring CIOs have entered Harrisburg University’s program to collaborate, look at best practices, share ideas, and look at shared services as a way of dealing with increasingly difficult challenges such as budget cuts, higher service demands, and emerging technologies. Instruction, provided by subject matter experts, many of whom are successful IT executives from public and private sector organizations, emphasizes leadership, strategy, and management, not necessarily technology. GTI corporate sponsors are major contributors to the education provided.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGER ( ITM)

INNOVATION SERIES

“I would say my confidence in the ability to fill the role as an IT Manager has changed significantly in a positive manner.” I ITM attendee
