1. What is Mi-GMIS?

Mi-GMIS is the State of Michigan chapter of Government Management Information Science (GMIS). It is made up of Information Systems Professionals from Cities, Townships, Counties and the State. Prior to 2006, the group was known as Michigan Association of Governmental Computer Users (MAGCU)

2. Why do we need Mi-GMIS?

Over the past 25 years, government units have become much more dependent on technology to function. Many government entities experience similar challenges and opportunities. Mi-GMIS provides an opportunity to share ideas between government agencies to allow everyone to be more effective in their jobs. Vendors can also belong to Mi-GMIS. They provide many opportunities for our members and help to keep us current with technology trends.

3. Who runs Mi-GMIS?

Officers and a Board are elected at each year’s conference from the membership to provide leadership to Mi-GMIS. We also have one vendor board member who provides a vendor perspective to the board. Any member of Mi-GMIS is welcome to participate in helping with the organization. We also have a number of committees that handle certain functions.
