MAGIQ Software is proud to be an Elite Partner of the Association of Local Government Information Management and celebrates a 30 year relationship with the association.
The Association of Local Government Information Management (ALGIM) exists to support Local Government to develop a world-class ICT sector through thought leadership, networking, professional development and best practice toolkits.
Every one of New Zealand’s 78 city, regional and district Councils is a member of ALGIM.
During the COVID crisis there has been incredible work carried out by unsung heroes throughout Local Government. The ALGIM Special Awards wish to reward local authorities for exercising leadership and innovation during COVID-19.
These special awards provide an opportunity for these disciplines to share how they have supported their organisation and their communities during COVID-19 as New Zealand moved up and down the COVID levels.
The Special Awards were presented via an online ceremony on Friday 2nd October.
The award categories include:
The Supportive Team Award
This award is all about the people. The award recognises and celebrates those who pulled together and made the seemingly impossible happen to ensure everyone could work from home and be kept updated. Whoever it is, the award celebrates their hard work.
The Fast-Tracked Project Award
Many staff saw the COVID barrelling toward them and suddenly realised the project they were working on would soon be a necessity. This award celebrates those projects that were already on the programme for this year, but had to be brought forward to meet Council’s business needs.
New Initiatives Award
This award is all about the innovation. Many Councils came up with brand new initiatives to keep their core business functions running, stay in communication with their communities, and ensure everyone was safe. The award celebrates projects that only came about because of COVID and its impacts.
Hamish Murray, our National Sales Manager in New Zealand presented the Supportive Team – All of Council Award.
The nominations for this category were:
- Tararua District Council
