Today, the Center for Digital Government announced the winners of the Center for Digital Government's 2010 Digital Counties Survey Awards. Montgomery County topped the list of counties in the 500,000 or more population category.
“For 2010, the program's judging approach changed. Unlike years past, when participating governments put together an inventory of their cutting-edge technologies, this year the counties had to submit numerous explanatory narratives on why technologies deployed actually improved life for government employees, citizens or both, explained Todd Sander, director of the Center for Digital Government's Digital Communities program, the division that conducted the survey,” reads today’s article announcing the winners.
“Projects that were motivated to bring transparency got high marks from the judges, and one such project put Montgomery County in first place in the [500,000 or more] population category. The county measured its IT functionality against benchmarks and published the data on its portal, unlike some other applicants,” continues the article.
“This is terrific and an excellent reflection of the hard work and dedication of all of our employees,” said Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg when she heard the good news.
