CoSN State Chapters

A Brief History of CoSN Chapters...

CoSN is creating state chapters to better meet the needs of school district CTOs. In 2004, CoSN changed its bylaws to enable this development and approved the Texas K-12 CTO Council as our first state chapter. In some states, such as Texas, founding a chapter involves the creation of a new nonprofit organization. In other states, such as California, we are working with new divisions of existing education technology nonprofits. In all cases, we require a strong chapter model with unified dues to build a stronger voice for educational technology leaders.

For more information about becoming a CoSN state chapter, please contact Keith Krueger at keith@cosn.org or  866.267.8747  866.267.8747 x118.
Background: The California chapter was formed in 2006 and is lead, managed and supported by the California Educational Technology Professionals Association (CETPA) as one of its initiatives to bring resources and professional development to the K-12 technologists supporting California schools. CETPA was established in 1960. The association’s goal is to increase information sharing and communication among K-12 technologists on technology-related issues.
Background: CASE is the premier professional association of K-12 school leaders in the state of Colorado, and CALET is the department within CASE representing technology leadership. CASE membership includes the majority of superintendents, principals, school business officials, human resources managers, educational specialists, and technology leaders in Colorado. CoSN’s Board of Directors approved CALET's request in October 2007 to become the 8th CoSN chapter.
Background: The Florida Chapter was formed in 2009 to empower Florida K-12 school district technology leaders to use technology strategically to improve teaching and learning.


Background: The Georgia K-12 CTO Council was formed in 2004 to assist Georgia’s K-12 school districts in understanding how to plan for the use and successful implementation of educational and administrative technology and advocate for improved student learning and administrative efficiency. Georgia K-12 CTO officially became a CoSN chapter in November 2006. The membership consists K-12 chief technology officers (CTOs) and technology directors at the school district level.


Background: Indiana Chief Technology Officer Council (ICTOC) was formed in 2009 to establish a CoSN state chapter. ICTOC's purpose is to enhance the skill set for chief technology officers in Indiana school districts through professional development and effective use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. ICTOC was approved October 2009 as CoSN's 11th state chapter.


Background: LA-CTO started meeting in March 2005. After much discussion among the officers and members, the organization realized that, given the close alignment between their mission and CoSN's mission, it would make sense to petition the CoSN Board for formal affiliation, which was granted in November of 2006.
Background: METAA began as an organization of technology education leaders whose goal is to advocate for and support the vision, policies, practices and funding for technology within the educational community. METAA was approved by the CoSN Board of Directors in October 2008.
Background: The Maryland K-12 CIO Council, a free-standing organization created by CIOs in the state of Maryland, formed CoSN's second chapter in December of 2005.
Background: The New Mexico state chapter was approved by the CoSN Board in October of 2005. The project to form a state chapter in New Mexico was spearheaded by Ferdi Serim, Program Manager of Literacy, Technology & Standards for the state Department of Education. A CoSN board member at the time, Mr. Serim coordinated with the state DoE to provide funding for all districts in the state to join CoSN and become a chapter as a group. The state CTOs are forming a new free-standing organization which will formally become CoSN's newest chapter later this spring.
Background: Pennsylvania - CTL-SIG affiliated with PAECT.
Background: The Texas K-12 CTO Council, a free-standing organization created by CTOs in the state of Texas in 2003, was CoSN's first chapter. Their petition to the CoSN Board launched the process of creating state chapters.
