The purpose of NASTD is to promote the effective use of Information Technology (IT) to improve the operation and efficiency of state government. With members from states across the nation and the private sector, NASTD (www.nastd.org) represents IT professionals who play a strategic role in planning and shaping state government technology infrastructures and policies.

As a corporate member renewing its support of the NASTD for the second year, NACR was recognized for supporting all regional NASTD seminars over the past year. The company also participates in NASTD's Corporate Alliance Council, which provides another forum for sharing ideas and building relationships between IT providers and state government.

"We consider our participation in NASTD to be a valuable tool for our public sector practice and our sales associates in understanding state and local government priorities, of which virtualization, cloud computing, and collaboration solutions are top of mind," said John Behnken, National Vice President of NACR. "NASTD events give us the opportunity to learn from state and local members while we help them stay up-to-date on new technologies that can help them achieve their goals."
