<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I anticipate a similar rotation/internal recruitment for a framework coordinator. However, at this time, I do not have any details on the timeline or how the recent letter from the governor may impact that
decision. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am happy to announce that Melissa Foltz has accepted the role of GIO. As many of you know, Melissa joined DGT as the Geospatial Data Governance Coordinator in January of 2023. We all recognize the significance
of these leadership roles and their impact on our shared goals for data governance. As the new Geographic Information Officer, Melissa is furthering her commitment to support OGIC and the broader GIS community.
