2006 Digital Counties
Survey
And the Winners Are…
County governments are using Information Technology with greater
and greater savvy each year, according to the 2006 Digital
Counties Survey, an annual study by the Center for Digital
Government (Center) and the National Association of Counties (NACo).
To recognize their hard work and innovation, the survey’s top
digital counties will be honored at a national awards ceremony
which will coincide with NACo’s national conference in Chicago,
Illinois next month.
In April, all counties in the United States were invited to
participate in the 2006 Digital Counties Survey. County
officials responded to questions that included more than 100
measurements and data points about online service delivery,
infrastructure, architecture and governance models.
"In today's world, technology is essential for effective and
efficient government," said NACo Executive Director Larry E.
Naake. "County governments realize this and are using technology
in new ways to improve the delivery of services to Americans.
The Digital Counties Survey illustrates the innovation being
pursued by counties across the country."
Center Executive Director, Cathilea Robinett adds, “Counties
continue to strive for excellence in serving their citizens. Our
Digital Counties Survey showcases those counties most committed
to service and innovation. Congratulations to all the winners!”
