Seattle CTO to lead MIX
Bill Schrier
Seattle Chief Technology Officer Bill Schrier may be out of a job come January 1st when Mayor Greg Nickels leaves office. But Schrier -- who has served as CTO of the city since 2003 -- at least can rely on another gig.
It was announced today that Schrier has been elected president of the Metropolitan Information Exchange, a national organization consisting of chief information officers of city or county governments with populations of more than 100,000.
The organization -- consisting of CIOs at 55 counties and cities -- focuses on issues such as broadband stimulus programs and the use of social media in government.
The latter topic is something that Schrier knows well, since he is an active blogger and Twitterer. He addressed those topics, and a few others in a Q&A with TechFlash earlier this year.
