The Local Government Information Technology South Australia (LGITSA) State Achievement Awards have been developed to promote and recognise achievements of teams and individuals in Information Technology (IT) and Information Management (IM) across the Local Government sector in South Australia.
Through this recognition it is envisaged that the overall perceived professionalism of the sector will improve, resulting in increased pride by all Local Government participants whose valuable contribution to IT and IM often goes unnoticed.
The awards, and the associated stories underpinning them serve to share the knowledge and experience gained by nominees beyond their respective organisations, benefiting the whole sector and creating opportunities for others to learn how they might be successful, achieve growth and improvement for their own Councils.
The LGITSA State Achievement awards provide a promotional opportunity to the wider South Australian, and potentially Australian, technology, government and corporate sectors. Feedback from LGITSA members and award recipients indicates that the recognition of these awards, advocacy and network contribute to staff retention and attracting talent to the sector.
