IT Governance Committee

Rick Cook, the Network Operations Administrator in Catawba County, has been honored with a state award recognizing his outstanding efforts in interagency cooperation. This achievement comes at a time when Catawba County is navigating significant economic challenges, including a 14% unemployment rate and numerous manufacturing layoffs from 2008 to 2009. Despite these difficulties, the county has seen substantial job creation through investments from companies like Apple Inc., FedEx, and BSN Medical, signaling a positive shift towards economic recovery.
