The USDA's Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is creating a Technology and eGovernment Advisory Council to advise and offer recommendations to the Chief Information Officer on improving USDA technology and eGovernment planning and operations.
"Our staff has been around the country in recent months receiving valuable input from customers at farm shows and conferences," said USDA Chief Information Officer Scott Charbo. "This advisory council is another great way to receive customer feedback on USDA's information technology and eGovernment efforts."
Nominations are being sought for nine members and nine alternates who will begin serving 3-year terms in May 2004. The committee members, appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, will represent a broad spectrum of USDA customers, partners, and employees. The Council will meet quarterly and members serve without compensation.
