Statement:	I have been an active member of the digital government community for several years and have participated in the organization of our annual conference since 2003, playing different roles such as Student Chair, Program Committee member, Posters and System Demonstrations Co-Chair, and, currently, Program Co-Chair for dg.o 2008. I was also a member of the Membership Committee of our Society this year, and we started discussing ways to consolidate our membership. I would like to continue working for the Society in the capacity of a Board Member. The Digital Government Society of North America is becoming the natural space for researchers and practitioners of Canada, Mexico, and the United States to explore issues and questions about information, technology, management, and policy in government settings. I will work in this direction, promoting our Society in Mexico and Canada, and encouraging more government actors and young scholars from the three countries to become involved.
