The Information Management Division is a support division responsible for establishing and implementing data management standards and processes for information tracking to support transparency and effective internal processes.
The goal of the division is to implement processes and provide services that allow program staff more time to address program issues and less time on non-programmatic functions. The division is responsible for assessing information technology tools and strategies to meet the ever-changing business needs of the department.
In addition, the Information Management Division is responsible for coordinating the department's GIS initiatives, maintaining the department's websites, and overseeing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) responses.
The division also has responsibility for coordinating rulemaking activities, updating department policies, tracking audits, assuring corrective action plans are implemented, and coordinating appointments and other tasks for the department's various commissions.
