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
The 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.
