“I am very excited the Capitol Times chose GITA as its inaugural honoree for

implement Governor Napolitano’s vision of transforming government through
technology. This award is a tribute to her leadership and the hard work of
GITA’s outstanding staff.”
GITA was recognized for its work in promoting technology and innovation to
improve government efficiency and access to public information. Specific

created this awards presentation as an opportunity for us to give back to
the community and shine the spotlight on those individuals and organizations
that have helped create, implement and champion initiatives around the
State.” As an inaugural honoree, GITA has shown it is “truly a leader in the
Capitol community.”
Arizona Health-e Connection Also Recognized Nationally
