Socitm has held the first meeting of the Local Government CIO Council, following an invitation from Government Chief Information Officer John Suffolk (pictured, left) to set up the body to represent the views and interests of local government to the main CIO Council.
The LG CIO Council will meet three times a year to review where local government can support, or if necessary challenge, the broader Government CIO agenda and to discuss other issues and priorities relevant to local government transformation. The Local Government CIO Council includes Socitm members from the English regions and represents the range of local authority types. A list of the members is included in our press release on the CIO Council launch, which is available on this website.
Further information about the CIO Council is available on this website.
