ArizonaCIO ORBIE Circle
Invite a Sponsor
Only trusted business partners invited by a CIO member or ORBIE Nominee, Finalist, or Winner may sponsor the ORBIE Awards. An invitation-only program maintains an exclusive and collegial environment and has enabled the ORBIE Awards to become the premier executive technology recognition program for CIOs.
Once an ORBIE Winner, always an ORBIE Winner.
Be a Judge
Every ORBIE winner since 1998 has been selected by prior ORBIE winners. ORBIE Circle CIOs are invited to serve on an ORBIE judging panel to identify deserving CIOs to be recognized for leadership excellence and the business value created through technology innovation.
Be a Keynote
The ORBIE Awards provides opportunities for prior ORBIE winners to share their ORBIE experience at Nominee events and ORBIE Awards programs. Please indicate your interest in sharing your leadership wisdom as a keynote or panel member.
Be a Mentor
Inspire the next generation of CIOs and ORBIE nominees by sharing your leadership wisdom as a mentor for the Inspire Leadership Academy. Programs like NGL depend upon CIOs willing to give back by mentoring and developing younger leaders.
