The Municipal Information Systems Association of California has established the Excellence in Information Technology Practices Program that recognizes exemplary Information Technology (IT) practices and is intended to foster peer recognition of achievements in IT practices.

The Municipal Information Systems Association of California (MISAC) established the Excellence in Information Technology (IT) Practices program in 1999, to recognize public agency efforts in the Information Technology arena. The Excellence in Information Technology Practices program recognizes cities and special districts that exceed industry practices. The program, which is revised annually to keep up to date with changing standards, consists of ten major categories of questions. Three qualified IT directors review each application. The evaluation committee determines the award level at Achievement or the higher-level Excellence; due to the high standards not all agencies receive an award. Every applicant receives detailed feedback and suggestions for IT program enhancements. For those agencies earning an award at either level, a plaque is presented to the applicant’s governing body, providing recognition for the IT department.

Each applicant needs to submit THREE (3) hard copies of their

Application and Response Form along with the application fee

Agencies that are eligible to participate in the Certification Program include local municipal governments and special districts. Those interested must submit a Program application for review. Each application is evaluated by three qualified reviewers who have extensive experience in local government and technology. Agency’s applications that are rated proficient to outstanding will receive a certification award.
