I am pleased this morning to report that a Whitby resident’s leadership and dedication has set her apart in the world of technology. Carrie-Ann Williamson, the director of technology and innovation services at the town of Whitby, recently won the Info-Tech Research Group’s 2023 Chief Information Officer Award for Canadian leaders. Speaker, the Info-Tech Chief Information Officer Award recognizes yearly outstanding information-technology leaders for delivering exceptional value to their organizations and whose strategic initiatives and innovative approaches significantly elevated stakeholder satisfaction.

Carrie-Ann Williamson’s accomplishments bring pride not only to herself and family, but to all Whitby residents. Carrie-Ann’s excellence has established a new standard for technology leaders to aspire to not just in our province, but other parts of Canada.

Congratulations, Carrie, for your personal success, but also for elevating Whitby and Ontario’s reputation on the national stage.
