The Goddard CIO Blog: One Year Later
Jun 01, 2009 10:16:21 PM | Linda Cureton
-
- One year today, I made my first blog post. Today, I want to pause and discuss my experience, my learning, and my path forward. This is a lengthy post. It will not be a sterile reflection of the efficacy of this Web 2.0 technology, but rather, this will be an expression of what this experience meant to me as a CIO, a leader, and as an individual.

What’s IT Got to Do With It?
