Tom Seymour and Woody Thorpe to Leave North Dakota Legislature
Two incumbent legislators in Minot's District 5 will not be seeking re-election this fall.
Sen. Tom Seymour and Rep. Elwood Thorpe, both D-Minot, are not running. District 5 Democrats have endorsed Rep. Louis Pinkerton to seek re-election to a second term.
Thorpe, a long-time legislator, said he feels the time has come to step aside and bring in someone new.
Thorpe served in the North Dakota House from 1991 to 1993 and again since 1997. He has served on the Industry, Business and Labor and Transportation committees in the House. During the current interim, he is a member of the Industry, Business and Labor, Natural Resources and Public Safety and Transportation committees.
Thorpe is retired after 35 years in the auto business.
Seymour said representing Minot's interest in the Legislature has been enjoyable and a learning process. However, he will leave the Legislature to focus on his other activities, including teaching at Minot State University, serving on a school accreditation team and on the SRT board of directors.
An MSU professor, Seymour has served in the Senate since 2003. He served on the Appropriations Committee last session and previously had been a member of the Education, Technology and Agriculture committees. During the current interim, he is a member of the Higher Education, Information Technology and Workforce committees and Budget Section.

The winners will be recognized at the IT Awards Program on May 12 during the noon luncheon at the ND IT Symposium at the Hilton Garden Inn, Fargo.
For more information, contact Alexis Brinkman, IT Awards coordinator, at 701-355-4458.
ND IT Symposium registration available:
ND IT Symposium co-hosts, ITCND and the Fargo CIO Exchange, encourage IT executives and their management teams to attend the 2nd Annual ND IT Symposium to be held May 12 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Fargo.
The goal of the Symposium is to create an environment conducive to peer networking among IT executives, their respective management teams and a select few IT vendors. This is achieved by providing peer-driven content addressing relevant issues faced by today’s IT leaders. A list of confirmed speakers to date is below.
As the premier event in the state for IT leaders, the 2009 ND IT Symposium attracted over 100 executives from more than 60 of the region’s top IT organizations. The 2010 event has an anticipated attendance of over 150 IT practitioners statewide and will feature two keynotes, a moderated CIO panel and 16 individual breakout sessions.
Registration Information
IT executives and practitioners from non-IT vendor businesses can register and find additional information at the event website. Registration will not be accepted from non-sponsoring IT vendors, but companies are welcome to visit with Dennis Robinson regarding future event sponsorships.

IT career pathways progress made:
More than 40 college IT educators and IT industry representatives gathered at the MDU Resources Group headquarters in Bismarck last month to discuss strategies for creating seamless IT career pathways for North Dakota students.
The retreat was effective in opening lines of communication between industry and education as well as between colleges within the North Dakota University System and our state’s private colleges. The retreat had the following results:
– Articulation agreements are being established between individual colleges.
– A meeting is being planned to discuss credit transferability within the CIS major.
– The group has committed to future meetings to ensure progress.
Industry involvement is strongly encouraged in this ongoing process. If you or someone from your organization is interested in participating in future discussions, contact Ray Hintz, North Dakota Department for Career and Technical Education IT supervisor, at 701-328-1720.
Public Policy Committee members sought:

The committee will meet 2-3 times in 2010 to develop the legislative agenda and as needed during the 2011 session to address issues important to ND’s IT industry. All meetings are held via conference call.
If you have questions regarding the committee or ITCND’s legislative process or have issues that should be brought to the attention of the committee, contact Deana at the information above.
Spring and summer internships wanted:
Internships provide a valuable way for students to make connections with businesses and identify career options in ND. Governor John Hoeven and the ND Legislature have recognized the importance of expanding internship and work experience opportunities, working with the Department of Commerce to facilitate the Operation Intern program.
The program is designed to expand the number of new internship, work experience and apprenticeship positions with employers. Employers in the state’s targeted industries, including technology-based businesses, can access up to $6,000 of matching funds for each new position created. Up to $5,000 in matching funds is also available for a federal internship position supporting ND’s targeted industries.
Of the participating companies who completed exit interviews, 73 percent report the experience is making it easier to find qualified/skilled workforce. Of the students completing their experience and exit interview, 69 percent report the internship has influenced their decision to work in ND and 84 percent want to work in the state.
The Department of Commerce is accepting applications for 2010 spring and summer semester internships. Tap into the energized potential of an intern this summer. Applications are available at the Operation Intern website. For more information, contact Sarah Johnson at 701-328-7264.

News on Legislators Route to Success
Dear Senator Seymour:
Below is a link to the new report from the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), Poised to Run: Women's Pathways to the State Legislatures, with findings from the most comprehensive study ever conducted on this subject. Many thanks to all the state legislators who, by responding to our survey, made this project possible.
The report offers a fresh look at how women reach the legislatures and how their pathways to public office have changed over time. Findings from a nationwide survey compare women and men, examining their decisions to seek office, previous political experiences, and personal backgrounds.
