A full-time, paid coordinator position is designated and has the authority to implement the state's business and strategic plans.
Explanation: Many states have created one or more full time positions to oversee coordination of geospatial technologies. These individuals are responsible for implementing the state's business plan and are typically assigned to the Governor's Office, Chief Information Officer, Budget Department, or the Technology Office. In some states, these duties fall on a volunteer and in others, no one is willing to assume this role. Having a full-time paid individual is advantageous and a significant portion of their energy is channeled into on-going statewide coordination council activities.
