The first ever Local 1000 IT Professionals Conference was held the weekend of April 17 in downtown Sacramento. IT professionals were able to network, get hands-on training and learn about trends in a fast-changing industry.

"We hope this conference will set the stage for future events that will focus on the professional needs of the state's IT workforce and other occupational groups within Unit 1," commented Margarita Maldonado, chair of Bargaining Unit 1 and an associate information systems analyst at the Department of Justice.

A special Assembly committee met on November 19 to discuss the IT Project process and our progress towards greater accountability and oversight. Representatives from the CIO's office and the Legislative Analysts Office gave status reports on their involvement in this process. Several committee members raised important questions about building a long term workforce and reducing the state's dependence on contractors.
