The IT Leaders convened on Tuesday, September 30, for their annual Fall Meeting at the Local Government Center in Boise, Idaho. The meeting opened with routine business, including the approval of previous meeting minutes, as well as highlights from the National Association of Counties (NACo) Conference, Western Regional Innovation and Technology Alliance (WRITA) Conference, and the Idaho Digital Summit.
