CIO Council
We are so lucky to live in a region where innovation is a way of life and technology makes up a big slice of the industrial pie. It is for that reason that so many creative and talented people call the Northwest home. At NPower, we saw an opportunity for these bright, tech savvy individuals to impart their knowledge to nonprofits in the community, and thus the CIO Council was born.
The CIO (Chief Information Officer) Council is made up of senior executives with technical expertise and a desire to give back to their communities. Members of the council are passionate about the difference that technology can make in the nonprofit sector, and dedicated to finding creative ways for organizations to utilize tech tools, enabling them to work more efficiently and broaden their impact.
The Council has three priorities:
- To provide thought leadership to NPower staff on new innovations and best practices in the IT field
- To advise the NPower team on the design and development of NPower’s service offerings
- To assist NPower in the overall success of its strategies, programs and solutions
Join the Council
The CIO Council is a great place to network with technical peers to and to use your skills to help the community. We’re always looking for new members with fresh ideas. If you’re a CIO that is interested in helping us build a thriving community, please contact Alison Carl White, Executive Director.
