With the passage of House Bill 1926 (Nixon) and Senate Bill 1247 (Stosch) in 2003, the Commonwealth established the Information Technology Investment Board to provide oversight for the nation's most extensive state government IT reform.

The same groundbreaking legislation that created the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) charges the Board with reviewing and prioritizing enterprise-wide technology investments across state government (Code of Virginia §2.2-2457 and § 2.2-2458). The Board also appoints the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to serve as VITA's chief administrative officer - leading VITA as it pioneers a 21st century model for information technology governance and operational excellence.

Investment Board appointments are made by the Governor and the General Assembly, with the Secretary of Technology serving as a voting, ex officio member and the Auditor of Public Accounts serving as a non-voting, ex officio member. Board members are on the leading edge of the corporate and technology industries and bring best practices from the business world to state government. Their years of practical experience, combined with their understanding of the challenges faced by the Commonwealth as it undertakes major IT reform, will ensure that the work done by VITA serves as a blueprint for other states in the months and years to come.
