Danni Siciliano
Vice-President
City of Charles Sturt
This is my 4th year on the Board, 3rd as Secretary. I have 18 years of experience in Local and State Government (just over 10 of those Local Government), many of them being as an IM professional. I joined LGITSA with two main goals:
- To broaden my own professional networks and learn more from other industry professionals, and
- To bring fresh inspiration and suggestions to attract IM back into LGITSA
I have now switched sides and am in the Information Technology space – within the Applications Team at the City of Charles Sturt – but see now more than ever the importance of nurturing the relationship between Information Management and Information Technology, like cheese and wine, you simply cannot have one without the other!
I would encourage all in Local Government working in the fields of Information Management, Information Technology, Continuous Improvement, Innovation, and Customer Experience to get involved with LGITSA in some way whether it be attending conferences/forums/workshops, engage in our online discussions, participate in working groups, or just ask questions to learn a little bit more about us and what we advocate for on behalf of all of our members.
I feel a great sense of pride whenever I get an opportunity to talk about LGITSA and all that we are delivering and advocating for in our sector! It really is such a privilege to be a part of something so truly special.
