GMIS Mission Statement
The mission of Government
Management Information Sciences (GMIS) is to provide an
organizational structure and network with associated activities. This
organization may be used by all State, County, Local government agencies and
educational institutions which are members in order to help them in their
information and automation endeavors and with associated projects and
problems.
Purpose
The purpose of GMIS is to
provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and techniques; to
foster enhancement in hardware, software and communication developments as
they relate to government activities.
Over twenty-five years
ago, a group of computer professionals, realizing all of us need help from
time to time, organized GMIS to foster sharing among all levels of government
involved in our endless world of technology. Not to be confused with other
user groups, GMIS focuses solely on sharing situations related to government
information processing.
