Association of Legislative Information Technology
2003 Legislative Staff Achievement
Award
The National Association of Legislative Information Technology commends
Sean Johnson for extraordinary contributions to NALIT and the legislative
process.
Sean has been an integral part of NALIT since 1998. He is sought out
regularly for his expertise and advice about management and technical issues
related to legislative information technology. He served on the NALIT Executive
Committee as a director from 1998 through 2000, the Professional Development
Seminar Planning Committee from 2000 through 2003, and the NALIT nominating
committees in 1999 and 2000.
Sean has also contributed to NCSL’s Assembly on State Issues as staff
chair of the Communications and Information Policy Committee in 1999. He
was recognized by the Assembly on State Issues for his work in making streaming
audio of committee sessions available via the NCSL Web site.
In addition, NALIT recognizes Sean's dedicated work, professionalism,
and contributions to the Florida House of Representatives. He was
instrumental in moving their legacy TextDBMS system, to a new system that
allows the House to have an independent system, while still retaining the
ability for the chambers to communicate.
Since leaving the Florida Legislature, Sean has maintained his relationship
with NALIT as an associate member and by continuing to share his technical
and management expertise with his colleagues in NALIT..
