The IT Executive Steering Committee (ITESC) was created to enable customers to have direct input into the prioritization and scheduling of IT initiatives. It was launched in December of 2006 under the following premise:

  • Allows for technology alignment to the LUC mission & goals.
  • Reported as recommendation by SMART LLC – Aug 2005 –Enhance and formalize IT Governance to improve communication and clarify discussion making authority between all MIS stakeholder groups …”
  • Recommended by Deloitte and Touche LLP - October 2006 –We believe a steering committee is crucial in providing guidance and direction to the ITS department. The creation of a steering committee would place responsibility on this governing body to see that ITS’s short term, as well as long term, goals are
    established and implemented.
