Since 1995, the Society of Information Management Chicago Chapter together with The Executives’ Club of Chicago and the CompTIA AITP Chicago Chapter have recognized technology leaders with the premier CIO of the Year Award in Chicagoland.   Beginning in 2019, three additional premier organizations have joined in recognizing the CIO of the Year – Chicago Innovation, i.c.stars and Evanta/Gartner.

For the third year, we are also recognizing two additional categories:

* CIO Innovator of the Year recognizes a CIO who has been especially innovative in his or her approach to producing business results far above the other nominees.

* CIO+ Award celebrates a CIO who has successfully expanded his or her current role into other business areas like Operations, Marketing, Sales, CEO role, etc., thus, broadening their impact on driving success for the overall business entity.

If you know a company that is doing great things because of its technology leadership, please submit a CIO of the Year Award Nomination.

Feel free to submit this form multiple times if you have nominations across awards.

Please contact the nominee to make sure he/she is interested in participating before submitting your nomination.

If you have questions, please send an email to:   Contact@CIOoftheYear.net
