Information Management Division

The Information Management Division sets and implements the department’s data management standards and processes to support transparency and efficient internal operations. Our work helps program staff focus more on program needs and less on administrative tasks.

We evaluate information technology tools and strategies to meet the department’s evolving business needs. We also coordinate GIS initiatives, maintain the department’s websites, and oversee Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) responses.

In addition, we coordinate rulemaking activities, update department policies, track audits and corrective actions, and support appointments and other responsibilities for the department’s commissions.
