As we celebrate ten years of research, partnership, and innovation, we thank you for being part of the Center for Technology in Government.

This year especially, we want to acknowledge that CTG's progress and success depend on the effort and support of our partners. Agency and corporate partners, individual participants, research colleagues, and international visitors all contributed to the vitality and value of CTG.

Our goal for the next ten years is to continue to support the work of government by generating new knowledge and practical resources for effective use of information and technology in the public sector.

For more about our research projects and results please read our 2003 Annual Report at www.ctg.albany.edu/publications/ annualreports/ar2003/ar2003.pdf.
