On behalf of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, we are pleased to announce the CIO Institute, one of America's most prestigious IT leadership academies.

The CIO Institute is a collaborative effort between the McCombs School of Business Center for Research in Electronic Commerce and the CIO Executive Board. Together, we have created this IT leadership development academy for technology executives who have been selected to assume significant management responsibilities. The CIO Institute's curriculum focuses on strategy creation and leadership development by offering a highly interactive learning environment with Fortune 500 CIOs and a world-renowned faculty from the McCombs School of Business. Participants will gain access to the expertise and tools required to lead effectively at the enterprise level. They will learn directly from top CIOs and business faculty intimately familiar with the strategies required to be an effective leader.

As retention and development of your key IT executives become more and more important, we invite you to enroll your future IT leaders in the CIO Institute. Enrollment will be limited to the first 70 approved applicants.

For additional information or to RSVP, please contact our program facilitator at Evanta, Liz Ramey. Liz can be reached at 503-445-6570 or liz@cioinstitute.com.

On behalf of the CIO Executive Board, we look forward to seeing you in the fall!

Respectfully,

The CIO Executive Board
