SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 as
“NATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (I.T.) PROFESSIONALS DAY” WHEREAS, National I.T. Professionals Day is on the third Tuesday of every September to recognize the technical experts – network engineers, system administrators, database admins, and many more types of I.T. Professionals that make sure our computer system run smoothly; and
WHEREAS, National I.T. Professionals Day was created in 2015 in an effort to show appreciation for the tech wizards who take care of the nuts and bolts so that the average worker’s station stays hooked up to the company network and operates flawlessly; and WHEREAS, I.T. professionals had to work long hours and adapt to massive change to help their companies keep up and stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, in our new hybrid work environments, dependency upon IT teams has become increasingly significant; and
WHEREAS, when things are going smoothly, it can be easy to forget about your I.T. professionals, but as soon as the server goes down or the Wi-Fi malfunctions, they become the most important people in the building; and
WHEREAS, the most important part of this holiday is taking the time to thank the I.T. professionals who make modern life easier for all of us; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Grover Beach does herby officially proclaim that September 20, 2022 as National I.T. Professionals Day and further extend the appreciation of the Council and all City Hall Staff to our I.T. Specialist, Jon Grodan, I.T. Assistant, Simon Karapetien, and to all I.T. Professionals for the vital services they perform.
