In partnership with Finding a Way, this panel will highlight how ITD's initiatives align with the County's Strategic Vision 2036, advancing technology that serves both clients and the community.

​Panelists will share how ITD empowers emerging talent through its internship and mentorship programs, fosters creativity through hackathons and collaborative problem-solving, and transforms public service delivery with AI and cutting-edge digital systems.
