The first part of the Yearbook takes a look at IT spend, funding opportunities and top trends of the 2010-2011 school year to shed some light on what technologies are top of mind and how to fund them. The second part highlights 50 education innovators that have led the way and provided best-practice models to imitate. This look at what was done, who is doing it and where we are going is intended to provide inspiration and guidance to education leaders on their own innovative quests in education.&lt;A href="http://app.mailings.erepublic.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=17023&amp;elq=2cc1552ae7d7445785137ef7366cad6e"&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 163px; HEIGHT: 135px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border=0 alt=cde11-spweb-yb150x135-2 align=right src="http://images.mailings.erepublic.com/eloquaimages/clients/erepublicinc/%7b3ab5d787-c456-47f9-a948-84b29764c615%7d_cde11-spweb-yb150x135-2.jpg" width=163 height=135 &gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://app.mailings.erepublic.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=17023&amp;elq=2cc1552ae7d7445785137ef7366cad6e"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Yearbook Webinar&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;This Yearbook issue profiles 50 leaders in K-12 and higher education who are using technology to transform their schools, districts or colleges.

Forward-thinking jurisdictions are using state-of-the-art Web and Cloud technologies to help their staff work smarter and give their citizens faster turnaround times and transparent self-service options.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please join us for a discussion to learn about&amp;nbsp;four of the best practices that jurisdictions are using to reduce permit-processing time and get happier constituents.&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;UL&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Deploy integrated review cycle methodology&lt;/STRONG&gt; – how to create an integrated review process that cuts processing time.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Create standardized repeatable processes&lt;/STRONG&gt; – how to develop processes that are based on prescribed workflows.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Engage citizens and stakeholders early and often&lt;/STRONG&gt; – how to automatically share information across departments, agencies and with the public.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Empower your users&lt;/STRONG&gt; – how to keep pace with changes in your jurisdiction and give your staff the power to tailor the system according to their job role, without calling IT.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;

As the volume of information grows, public sector program managers, and indeed all stakeholders inter- and intra-departmental must manage and control data so it can become a strategic asset. Aberdeen's research of 156 public sector organizations shows that through the use of proper data governance, Best-in-Class public sector program managers are achieving better results. &lt;A href="http://app.en25.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=14167&amp;elq=bd4440c1b2f54d6e84a4f6c805ce1a45"&gt;Download PDF&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR style="CLEAR: both"&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Business Intelligence in the Public Sector: The Value of Efficient Resource Utilization&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ffffff 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #ffffff 5px; WIDTH: 100px; HEIGHT: 129px; BORDER-TOP: #ffffff 5px; BORDER-RIGHT: #ffffff 5px" border=5 alt=BusinessIntelligenceinPublicSector align=left src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/clients/erepublicinc/%7b8d391ed3-26ed-4ca2-92e9-0a6dc20e19ff%7d_businessintelligenceinpublicsector.jpg" width=100 height=129 &gt;As government budgets continue to shrink, agencies are consistently asked to do more with less. When it comes to information management and decision support, resource optimization comes at a higher premium than ever before and the top performing public sector organizations are leveraging business intelligence (BI) tools and strategies to achieve more efficient resource usage. Learn how Best-in-Class organizations in the public sector are generating more efficient data capture, information assembly, and insight delivery in order to make better decisions and drive higher performance as a result. The research will demonstrate that public sector organizations utilizing a well conceived and comprehensive strategy for BI are leveraging more organizational data, expending fewer resources and delivering mission-critical insight to their workforce in a timely fashion. &lt;A href="http://app.en25.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=14167&amp;elq=bd4440c1b2f54d6e84a4f6c805ce1a45"&gt;Download PDF&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR style="CLEAR: both"&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/clients/eRepublicInc/{b5bb1736-eb54-44f1-b0b5-02d7748b82a8}_tinydot.gif"&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;!-- PERSONALIZED CONTENT SECTION END --&gt;&lt;!-- FOOTER ROW START --&gt;  &lt;TR&gt;  &lt;TD width="100%"&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;!-- FOOTER ROW END --&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;IMG style="DISPLAY: none" src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/clients/eRepublicInc/{b5bb1736-eb54-44f1-b0b5-02d7748b82a8}_tinydot.gif"&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;img src='http://app.en25.com/e/FooterImages/FooterImage1.aspx?elq=bd4440c1b2f54d6e84a4f6c805ce1a45&amp;siteid=1222' border=0 width=1px height=1px&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;  &lt;TABLE cellPadding=10 width=600 align=center&gt;  &lt;TBODY&gt;  &lt;TR&gt;  &lt;TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10px; LINE-HEIGHT: 130%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" align=left colSpan=2&gt;Commercial electronic message.&lt;BR&gt;Government Technology is a division of e.Republic, Inc.&lt;BR&gt;100 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom, CA 95630.

For most, procurement reform is a key component in this equation. On this online forum, Governing editorial staff will lead an in-depth discussion on procurement reform strategies that can have a big impact on your bottom line. By utilizing new tools and innovative measures, procurement reform can make your state, city or agency into a smarter buyer. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#070707 size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Leaders in procurement reform from four states – Georgia, Virginia,&amp;nbsp; Minnesota and Wisconsin – will share best practices from their agencies' successful procurement reform efforts.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;To the south, Georgia and Virginia have enhanced their procurement systems to optimize savings and spending potential by adopting e-procurement tools and emulating successful procedures from the private sector. To the north, Minnesota and Wisconsin have made groundbreaking strides in procurement reform by sharing resources, consolidating services and pursuing joint contracts. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#070707 size=2&gt;Join Governing editorial staff and procurement reform leaders from across the country &lt;STRONG&gt;Tuesday, November 30 at 2:00pm ET/11:00am PT&lt;/STRONG&gt;

Police Department has implemented surveillance units with the 4G technology to significantly reduce crime while saveing time and money. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;How to obtain the proper grants to help fund your 4G program and enhance overall public safety.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;How you can use video surveillance for operational awareness, special event management, short-term operations and criminal surveillance while viewing the activity remotely.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;A href="https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=registration.jsp&amp;eventid=224577&amp;sessionid=1&amp;key=393436C8131414DE58A190826A1B6901&amp;sourcepage=register&amp;elq=4bacec2aba2b46cfbd2bc28a7bd22bd1"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Register Today&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/tinydot.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;                                                &lt;!-- PERSONALIZED CONTENT SECTION END --&gt;  			                &lt;/table&gt;            &lt;/td&gt;            &lt;!-- MIDDLE COLUMN END --&gt;  		  &lt;!-- RIGHT COLUMN START --&gt;                        &lt;td style='border-right: #999999 1px solid;padding-right: 10px;padding-left: 10px;font-size: 9pt;border-left: #999999 1px solid;border-bottom: #999999 1px solid;font-family: arial;background-color: #ebebeb;text-align: left;'  bgcolor=' #ebebeb' align=' left' width="200px" align="center" valign="top"&gt;  &lt;table width="100%" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 valign="top"&gt;    &lt;!-- top text/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="20" valign="top"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- top text/image end --&gt;    &lt;!-- middle title/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="20" valign="top"&gt;&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Complimentary webinar&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- middle title/image end --&gt;    &lt;!-- middle text/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="40" valign="top"&gt;&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Wednesday, July 14, 2010&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;11:00am PT/2:00pm ET&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Duration:&lt;/STRONG&gt; 1 hour&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=registration.jsp&amp;eventid=224577&amp;sessionid=1&amp;key=393436C8131414DE58A190826A1B6901&amp;sourcepage=register&amp;elq=4bacec2aba2b46cfbd2bc28a7bd22bd1"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Register Now&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Featured Speakers:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Don Pearson&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Group Publisher&lt;BR&gt;Government Technology and &lt;BR&gt;Emergency Management Media&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Beth Hart&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Special Projects Director&lt;BR&gt;Annapolis Police Department&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Detective Ricky Truitt&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Criminal Investigation Division&lt;BR&gt;Annapolis Police Department&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Michael Paddock&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Chief Executive Office&lt;BR&gt;Grants Office&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Trey Hanbury&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Director, Government Affairs&lt;BR&gt;Sprint&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Bruce Lee&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Industry Business Solutions Manager&lt;BR&gt;Sprint&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Questions?

As the world becomes a smaller place, budgets tighten and service demands increase, shared services and collaborative efforts have been pioneered. Valuable lessons have been learned by these early adopters as they have learned that hindsight is indeed 20/20. A number of states and localities find themselves looking for a teammate, and this discussion will cover how it has been done before. Contribute to the discussion and learn from peers about what makes a successful collaboration, how to identify it and how to make it happen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Speakers Include:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Phil Bertolini&lt;/STRONG&gt;, Chief Information Officer, Oakland County, MI&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Patrick Quain&lt;/STRONG&gt;, Deputy Director/Chief Information Officer, Department of Administration, State of Arizona&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Ken Theis&lt;/STRONG&gt;, Chief Information Officer, State of Michigan&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;A href="http://app.en25.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=4721&amp;elq=89d59433aead49d1b2917577047a9a79"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Register Now!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/tinydot.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;                                                &lt;!-- PERSONALIZED CONTENT SECTION END --&gt;  			                &lt;/table&gt;            &lt;/td&gt;            &lt;!-- MIDDLE COLUMN END --&gt;  		  &lt;!-- RIGHT COLUMN START --&gt;                        &lt;td style='border-right: #999999 1px solid;padding-right: 10px;padding-left: 10px;font-size: 9pt;border-left: #999999 1px solid;border-bottom: #999999 1px solid;font-family: arial;background-color: #ebebeb;text-align: left;'  bgcolor=' #ebebeb' align=' left' width="200px" align="center" valign="top"&gt;  &lt;table width="100%" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 valign="top"&gt;    &lt;!-- top text/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="20" valign="top"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- top text/image end --&gt;    &lt;!-- middle title/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="20" valign="top"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- middle title/image end --&gt;    &lt;!-- middle text/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="40" valign="top"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Complimentary Webinar&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;July 6, 2010&lt;BR&gt;11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://app.en25.com/e/er.aspx?s=1222&amp;lid=4721&amp;elq=89d59433aead49d1b2917577047a9a79"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Register Now&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For more information or to register, please contact:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Jeremy Smith&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Registration Coordinator&lt;BR&gt;Center for Digital Government&lt;BR&gt;800.940.6039 ext. 1402&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="mailto:jsmith@centerdigitaled.com"&gt;jsmith@centerdigitaled.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Presented by:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 62px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border=0 alt="" src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/clients/erepublicinc/%7b01895c9f-af03-48b0-bd5f-9b086760a289%7d_cdg_logo_gray.jpg" width=160 height=62 &gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG border=0 alt=landing_gt_logo src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/clients/erepublicinc/%7b05d8e083-fac9-49d2-9ca4-e6fa4a873f47%7d_landing_gt_logo.png" width=193 height=38 &gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- middle text/image end --&gt;    &lt;!-- bottom text/image start --&gt;        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td  width="100%" height="20" valign="top"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;!-- bottom text/image end --&gt;  &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                        &lt;!-- RIGHT COLUMN END --&gt;          &lt;/tr&gt;        &lt;/table&gt;      &lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt;    &lt;!-- FOOTER ROW START --&gt;        &lt;!-- FOOTER ROW END --&gt;  &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;img style="display:none;" src="http://img.en25.com/eloquaimages/tinydot.gif"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;      &lt;TABLE cellPadding=10 width=600 align=center&gt;  &lt;TBODY&gt;  &lt;TR&gt;  &lt;TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10px; LINE-HEIGHT: 130%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" align=left colSpan=2&gt;Commercial electronic message.&lt;BR&gt;Center for Digital Government is a division of e.Republic, Inc.&lt;BR&gt;100 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom, CA 95630.
