As revenues continue to shrink and expenses increase, local governments find themselves turning to information systems to contain costs and to "do more with less". Each day there are technological advances that could have a dramatic affect on our organizations. However, it is impractical for each political subdivision to evaluate and test all new concepts and devices. If, on the other hand, a group of governments join together, with each reviewing and testing a small number of innovations and sharing the results, costs could be significantly reduced and benefits could be derived more quickly by all.

The mission of the Florida Local Government Information Systems Association (FLGISA) is just that; to provide a forum for managers of Florida's local government information systems departments to be able to share experiences, learn new technologies and influence legislation that affects how information is processed. Ultimately, the mission of FLGISA is to assist managers in providing the best possible service in the most efficient way to our customers, the citizens of the state of Florida.
