The National Association of Legislative Information Technology recognizes Michael Adams for his commitment and service to the Colorado General Assembly, NALIT, and NCSL. He consistently brings to each of these a high level of knowledge, a constant perspective of the primacy of the legislative process, and a dedication to excellence.
Michael has proven himself to be a leader over and again in directing a staff, participating on committees and task forces, serving as an officer, and simply interacting with his peers. His manner is quiet and effective, and it is never about him; rather, it is about the job to be done and the purposes to be served and the people involved throughout. Michael will shoulder the responsibility, see the task through to successful completion, and give the credit to those who worked with him.
Beyond his service as a NALIT officer and a member of LSCC and the Executive Committee, Michael has led in encouraging others to participate in NCSL opportunities. Whether that is urging his information technology peers to become more integrated into other areas or helping those less literate in technology to understand how it can be of benefit to them, he is truly inclusive, seeking to bring all together for the common and greater good. Michael deserves this recognition, and NALIT is pleased and proud to honor him with the 2006 Legislative Staff Achievement Award.
NALIT recognizes the team of Lou Adamson and Scott Darnall for their dedication and service to the South Dakota Legislature and to NALIT. They are prime examples of legislative staff who give their best and do their best, providing both quantity and quality that rivals that of states with far larger staffs.
While Lou and Scott comprise the total legislative information technology staff for South Dakota, they have accomplished great things in the services they provide to their members, other staff, and to the public. Their work is a model of efficient use of resources to meet the needs of their constituency, and it is done with excellence.
Both Lou and Scott have also been very involved in NALIT, giving presentations, serving on committees and as officers, and hosting the 2005 Professional Development Seminar. Even more, they are always willing to interact with their peers, sharing their knowledge and experience, exemplifying what is best about NALIT. NALIT is proud to provide them with well-deserved recognition in the form of the 2006 Legislative Staff Achievement Award.
