Invitation from Governor Timothy M. Kaine
COVITS is the pre-eminent gathering of Virginia's public and private sector IT leaders to share ideas that will make Government 2.0 a reality. This year's theme of "Transparency, Participation and Collaboration" is an apt description of what we are trying to accomplish here in the Commonwealth. I welcome you to the 11th annual COVITS and encourage you to make the most of this outstanding opportunity.
