Dave Webb (left) accepts CIO runner up plaque as part of a national award contest. Megan Albracht was among 442 students selected to be a part of the 2009 All-State Chorus. The chorus performed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus in November. Selection as a member into this group is one of the highest musical honors attainable in Nebraska. Megan, a Megan Albracht sophomore at Lakeview High School, is the daughter of System Specialist Barb and Engineering Technician Joe Albracht. Selections for the award are made by a distinguished panel of anonymous judges consisting of magazine editors, industry analysts, former utility CIOs and college professors. The KITE awards stand for Knowledge, Innovation, Technology and Excellence--characteristics that set inspirational utility IT leaders apart from the pack. The judging criteria include the following four elements: leadership, support for strategic objectives, results achieved and accomplishments. Webb serves as a member of the Large Public Power Council CIO committee and credits receipt of this award to his team of technology professionals who work hard to stay on top of the changing technology environment to ensure NPPD customers and employees are provided with secure and practical computer, software and infrastructure solutions. “I’m proud of my management team and all ITT colleagues and the work they do day in and day out. Thanks to them, I am able to participate in initiatives like the State Radio partnership and NPPD’s Smart Grid effort. I also owe special thanks to Pat Pope for his support and recognition of the critical role technology plays in NPPD’s success. That is certainly a major factor in NPPD being recognized with this national award,” he said.
