MNIT technologists can stand up today and take a bow for helping Minnesotans get the services they need. The third Tuesday in September is designated as National IT Professionals Day to honor those who take care of technology infrastructure, help drive innovation to support state agencies and troubleshoot software and hardware issues.

A dedicated group of IT professionals stand behind MNIT’s push to promote a digital government. We rely on their hard work and dedication to turn our agency and state’s mission into reality.
