TAGITM

What TAGITM does

TAGITM (Texas Association of Governmental Information Technology Managers) is a non-profit professional association founded in 1978 that serves government information technology professionals across Texas. The organization serves municipalities, counties, appraisal districts, school districts, and government technology vendors, with 555 members listed in its directory and a 45+ year operating history. Headquartered in Leander, Texas (mailing address PO Box 2329), TAGITM is professionally managed by CMP Management, with Justin Heyman serving as Association Executive and COO of the management firm.

The association's core products and services include an annual education conference (scheduled through 2028), three regional summits (Central, North, and South Texas), three ListServ communities (general, GIS, and CIO/Director), a document repository containing sample RFPs and policies, a career center, the CGCIO (Certified Government Chief Information Officer) certification pathway, and seven standing committees covering Awards, Cybersecurity, Conference, Education, GIS, Industry Advisory, Membership, Nominations, and Outreach. The underlying technology platform is YourMembership.com association management software, which handles the website, membership management, event management, and member communications. The organization was rebranded from the Texas Association of Governmental Data Processing Managers (TAGDPM) to TAGITM in 2000 to reflect the evolving IT landscape.

TAGITM's business model is built on three recurring revenue streams: (1) Agency Membership Dues at $175 per year for governmental agencies, (2) Affiliate Membership Dues at $200 per year for hardware/software/service vendors and academic institutions, with both memberships allowing multiple representatives under one organizational account, and (3) Annual Conference Sponsorships structured in four tiers — Diamond ($10,000), Platinum ($8,000), Gold ($6,000), and Silver ($4,000) — plus exhibitor booth fees of $3,500 per booth. The membership year runs October 1 to September 30, with dues assessed annually in early August. The association is led by an executive board of volunteer government IT leaders, with day-to-day operations outsourced to CMP Management. The organization is Texas-incorporated, independently governed, and has no parent company, private equity, or venture capital backing.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• GMIS International: Global organization for government IT leaders offering conferences, education, and peer networking for public-sector CIOs and IT managers. Directly comparable membership-association model serving the same government IT professional segment.
• Public Technology Institute (PTI): PTI serves local-government IT executives with research, training, and peer networking — a near-identical value proposition to TAGITM but at a broader U.S. geographic scope, making it the closest cross-state analog.

Emerging players

• Code for America: Non-profit civic-tech organization that builds digital services for government. Different model (delivery-oriented rather than peer-association), but increasingly competes for the same Texas government IT talent and modernization agenda TAGITM supports.
• ISSA (Information Systems Security Association): Global, member-driven cybersecurity association with local chapters, conferences, and training. Directly comparable to TAGITM's Cybersecurity Committee and ListServ, and increasingly relevant to the same Texas government IT security community TAGITM serves.

Broad incumbents

• NASCIO: National Association of State Chief Information Officers represents state-level CIOs with advocacy, conferences, and awards. Broader scope (state, not local) and more policy-focused, but operates the same association model for government IT leaders.
• CompTIA (Advancing the Business of Technology): Large IT industry association offering membership, certifications, and advocacy. While tech-industry rather than government-specific, it competes for the same affiliate members (vendors) and overlapping training/membership value for IT professionals.

Others

• ICMA (International City/County Management Association): Professional association for local-government administrators and managers. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but overlaps with TAGITM at the local-government CIO/CIO-adjacent audience.
• Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR): Texas state agency that provides technology services, cybersecurity support, and procurement vehicles (e.g., Texas.gov, cooperative contracts). Complementary rather than competitive — TAGITM actively coordinates with DIR during incidents like the 2025 Matagorda County ransomware event.

Regional players

• MISA (Municipal Information Systems Association): Ontario, Canada-based association for municipal IT professionals with similar membership, conference, and peer-network model. Directly comparable association structure but different national geography.
• Texas Municipal League (TML): Texas statewide association for municipalities. While broader than just IT, TML provides overlapping benefits (training, advocacy, networking) to the same Texas city-official audience TAGITM serves, and is represented on TAGITM's board via a TML Affiliate seat.
