A regional forum for CIOs that fosters excellence
in business and information technology.
March 2025 Forum Update
Hard to believe it’s already March! There’s a lot happening as we continue with our central theme for the year, "A Strange New World."
Here’s what’s ahead:
Upcoming Forums
- March 20: Staying Ahead of the Bad Guys – Microsoft will explore how to drive business success with a strong cybersecurity strategy, Cisco will cover the evolving threat landscape, and GuidePoint Security will simplify risk management.
- April 17: Strategic Implementation of Generative AI – Amazon, Microsoft, and Workday will discuss key priorities for CIOs, emerging trends, and real-world case studies with lessons learned.
- May 15: Data Readiness for AI & Decision-Making – We’ll meet at Catholic Charities (CC) as they share their data journey, from AI readiness to leveraging data for insights. Other CIO members will also present. Our CIO-hosted forums and storytelling sessions are always a highlight.
Spring Social – April 12
Join us at Turf Valley Resort for an evening of fun and connection! Some members are planning to golf earlier in the day, and our Social begins at 6 PM. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor games, casual mingling, and a fantastic meal. This year’s theme is golf & the Masters, making for a relaxed and enjoyable gathering. Don’t miss the camaraderie, great food, and refreshments!
Board Elections & 2025-2026 Program Planning
- The Board election will take place in April, with results announced at the April 17 Forum.
- We’ll finalize the 2025-2026 Forum Program in a virtual meeting on April 25.

Our focus includes:
- Expanding our CIO membership to bring fresh perspectives.
- Challenging ourselves as CIOs with new ideas and solutions.
- Reinforcing in-person attendance as a key driver of our success.
