Finalists and winners are recognized by an independent peer review process, led by prior ORBIE recipients, based upon:

  • Leadership and management effectiveness.

Recognizing excellence in technology leadership since 1998

For over 20 years, the CIO ORBIE Awards have recognized technology executives for leadership, innovation, and excellence in this rapidly growing, CIO-led national professional association.

The Ohio CIO ORBIE Awards will honor chief information officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership. CIOs are recognized in multiple categories based on the size and scope of their organization and responsibilities.
