Government Data Advisory Board

Board Creation

The Government Data Advisory Board (GDAB) was created through HB 09-1285. It was specifically established to advise the State Chief Information Officer on activities and policies necessary to developing the interdepartmental data protocol created in HB 08-1364.

Board Mission

GDAB's mission is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of state government, citizen service delivery and policy-making by providing guidance and recommendations on how the state should govern and manage data and data management systems.

Board Role

The Board has two primary roles:

• The first is to assist the State Chief Information Officer and Chief Data Officer in determining the state's data strategy, policies, standards, architecture and assisting with issue management.

• The Board's second role is as advocate - both from their communities to OIT regarding stakeholder needs and concerns and to their community as key communicators regarding the state's progress, concerns and challenges.
