[Webmakers] Reminder: Meeting, May 29

[Karen Mellor]

This is just a reminder about the special Webmakers Meeting:

Date: Wednesday, May 29
Time: 11 am - 12 noon 
(At 12 noon, please join us in the Executive Dining Room to continue the conversation or catch up with your webmaker friends - bring a lunch or purchase one at the DOA cafeteria, or just hang out with us)
Location: Dept. of Administration, Conference Room C (2nd Floor)

RI.gov designer Dan Chapman recently completed his six-month tenure as a White House Presidential Fellow as a team member of Project MyUSA.  The purpose of Project MyUSA is to reimagine how citizens interact with government through an experience designed around their needs rather than a confusing and fragmented bureaucracy.  The project produced a series of innovations that will undoubtedly have enormous impact on the design of future public-sector websites and applications.

Dan has volunteered to offer an overview of the work he and his team accomplished as part of their fellowship along with some best practices that can be incorporated into our continued efforts here in Rhode Island. We will make sure there is plenty of time for Q&A and Dan can offer an update as to the future of MyUSA and other exciting federal initiatives, including the White House 21st Century Digital Strategy, and recently-released Open Data policy. 

All are welcome to attend; if you could let me know if you're coming, that would be helpful, but not mandatory.  (If you have already RSVP-ed, no need to do it again.)

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Karen
