CANCELLED: 9/16 SLC IT Committee Meeting

The 9/16/2010 meeting of the full SLC IT Committee has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts and lack of business to report. Our next meeting will be at 3:00 pm on Thurs., October 21st (NOTE New Time).

Note the following written report in place of our meeting this month:

1. Find Meeting Minutes from the 8/18/2010 meeting attached and on the blog.

2. The Advisory Board should be established by the BOL at tonight’s board meeting. As of last week, 10 people submitted biodata sheets to be considered for appointment to the Board. 9/13/10 is the deadline for consideration during this month’s committee meetings. Later submissions will be considered upon receipt and to fill vacancies on the IT Advisory Board as they arise.

3. Kevin Lynch and I made a presentation to the River Valley Redevelopment Agency (RVRDA) this past month. Kevin was particularly effective in describing the impacts IT Infrasture offers existing organizations, and the opportunities coming down the pike. We shared a map of the proposed network buildouts and discussed the opportunity to locate a data center in SLC. We pledged to keep them abreast of our committee’s work, and come back to them periodically as projects progress.

4. There is a meeting of IT Providers and Healthcare representatives scheduled for this month. The meeting will be an opportunity to share information about what is currently available, what is on the horizon in SLC, what models exist and what the needs of the healthcare community are. The desired outcomes from this meeting are to gain a better understanding of the current environment, for us to hear the IT needs of the SLC healthcare industry, for us to uncover potential opportunities for collaboration and some clear next steps. Stay tuned for a future report.

5. 2011 IT Symposium: no report.

6. Meeting dates & times: The current meeting date and time poses a challenge to some interested committee members (including myself). We need to be thinking of a different day/time for our group to meet. Please send me your suggestions or requests in the next month. We will discuss it at next month’s meeting.

Thank you!
