To achieve its mission, FLGISA will advance local government IT leadership through collaboration, education, innovation, and communication.

Collaboration: To promote opportunities for our membership to work jointly with Federal, State, Educational, Non-profit, or For-profit organizations on initiatives or projects that benefit the citizens of Florida by improving service delivery and lowering costs.

Education: To advance our profession by providing opportunities for continuous skills improvement in the areas of leadership and technologies through conferences, district meetings, and the Certified Public Technology Leadership (CPTL) program.

Innovation: To introduce opportunities to transform how local government delivers services via technology by providing a forum for creative thinking, vision, and a culture of productive imagination.

Communication: To engage the exchange of ideas and information for the mutual benefit of the members by providing forums to share experiences and expertise and to promote opportunities for mentoring by and between members.

 
Goals/Technology Initiatives:
The goals of FLGISA are to:  

• Promote FLGISA as a "go to" organization as it relates to technology for local governments. This includes building bridges or otherwise collaborating with other strategic partners, increasing membership, marketing the FLGISA name, and using the association's clout in member networking efforts.

• Build a strategic relationship with the Office of the State Chief Information Officer (CIO).

• Support the CPTL program as offered through the Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University, and recognize this program as a key source of leadership training for FLGISA. Program support includes both endorsement and funding.

• Become more active in legislative initiatives that affect technology or the FLGISA local government agenda.

• Support broadband initiatives that promote data sharing and interoperability, or that facilitate business continuity between local government jurisdictions.

• Promote the personal and professional development of FLGISA members through education, networking, and meaningful activities at the district as well as association level.

• Protect the FLGISA logo and limit its use to those purposes authorized by the Board.

• Redesign the FLGISA website to promote a greater presence as a technology leader.

• Promote the sharing of resources for disaster recovery.
