About us
SeattleCIO is one of 40+ chapters in the Inspire Leadership Network, a national membership organization comprised exclusively of CIOs from public and private businesses, government, education, healthcare, and nonprofit institutions. SeattleCIO exists to help CIOs thrive in today’s most challenging C-suite executive role. The chapter regularly convenes leading CIOs and fosters meaningful relationships by hosting non-commercial, member-led programs—helping CIOs gain leadership advantage. We create opportunities for technology leaders to engage in substantive, issues-based discussion related to their industries and profession. Members benefit by collaborating with others, building meaningful relationships, and promoting professional development through executive events that facilitate valuable interaction among senior-level experts. MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATION Members must be a Seattle-based CIO or equivalent senior technology leader for an organization with at least $100 million annual revenue. Organizations over $1 billion qualify for a second membership and organizations over $5 billion may enroll a third member – provided the organization’s primary technology leader is a member in good standing. ABOUT THE ORBIE AWARDS The ORBIE Awards is the premier technology executive recognition program in the United States. Since its inception in 1998, over 500 technology leaders have received the prestigious ORBIE Award. The ORBIE honors chief information officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership.

🏔️ What a night for SeattleCIO. Last week at Newcastle Golf Club, with views stretching from downtown Seattle to the Bellevue skyline, we brought together two powerful moments in one evening: Partner Spotlight and LiftOff. Partner Spotlight gave the floor to the strategic partners who make our members' jobs easier and more effective every day. The best technology executives will tell you: a great strategic partner is often the difference between good and great, helping organizations move faster, more safely, and more cost-effectively through an ever-changing technology landscape. In this community, the strongest vendor relationships aren't transactional. They're hyper-relational and hyper-focused on solving the big problems the right way. 🤝 Then we celebrated LiftOff, welcoming 15 new members who joined the SeattleCIO family over the past year. We connected, cast vision for the season ahead, and soaked in the energy of a community that keeps getting stronger. With this crew and that skyline as our backdrop, the only direction is up. 🚀 Thank you, as always, to our incredible Underwriters: TEKsystems, Slalom, Rimini Street, Lumen Technologies & Google Cloud. And for our Gold Partners: ClientOne Global, Comcast Business, D8TAOPS, Milestone Technologies, Inc.& Veeam Software #SeattleCIO #LiftOff #PartnerSpotlight #TechLeadership #CIOCommunity #PacificNorthwest
