MAJOR ACTIVITIES: - Conduct IT Quarterly Forums. Since April 2005, over 500 federal IT workers and their colleagues have attended forums that focus on "hot" topics in Information Technology. The IT Quarterly Forum goal is to educate workers on key issues to increase competency in mission critical work. In addition, the sessions allow networking and information-sharing to promote best practices. Topics covered include: FISMA, Enterprise Architecture, HSPD-12 and Designing for Survivability, and the Acquisition Workforce. Information about the IT Quarterly Forums is available at www.cio.gov/itqf. - Continue to work with OPM and participating agencies to encourage IT Exchange opportunities. This program allows for temporary details (3 months to 1 year) of civilian IT employees to the private sector or for temporary details of private sector employees to agency positions. Interested agencies are currently developing ITEP agency plans and programs in order to implement IT exchanges.
