RKV & IT Community

RKV Associate, Kathy Burris, has accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors of the American Corrections Association (ACA), Missouri Corrections Association.  Prior to joining RKV, Kathy was IT Director for the MO Department of Corrections and the MO Department of Public Safety and has over 27 years of Corrections experience.  Her contributions to the organization are well respected and recognized as she is the first vendor to be invited to serve on the board. The ACA offers member organizations support in the areas of Standards & Accreditation, Professional Certification, Government & Public Affairs, Training, Publishing and Research in the area of Corrections.

Establishing a local Project Management Institute (PMI) chapter was important to RKV Technologies to help support the delivery of high quality projects.  The PMI Mid-Missouri chapter became an officially chartered member in June 2000.  “Knowledge of Project Management principles benefits not only RKV, but our customers as well”, said Bob Myers, President & CEO.  “That is why we have proudly sponsored all chapter meetings since the groups inception.”

 This annual conference brings together speakers from all over the country to present on topics of interest to IT professionals at the State of Missouri. Continuing sponsorship by RKV Technologies and others doing business with the State of Missouri allows Missouri IT staff access to seminars and presentations by experts in many areas within IT.

For over 10 years, RKV Technologies has supported the Jefferson City Information Technology Coalition in their mission to increase the number of qualified Information Technology resources for employers in the Jefferson City area. The Coalition partners area businesses with local schools, colleges and universities to enlighten grade school and high school students about careers in IT, generate interest among currently employed workers in non-IT fields and advise educators at all levels on curriculum to develop graduates with desirable technology skills.
