Cyber-state.org. The Michigan Information Technology Commission, in a groundbreaking 1998 report, warned that Michigan's businesses, communities, schools, and government offices were unprepared to take full advantage of the Information Revolution. Cyber-state.org, a member of the Altarum family, emerged out of the commission's recommendation to establish a central organization that would drive the state's IT advancements. The non-partisan organization advocates for IT to benefit everyone in Michigan.
 
CityConnect Detroit. The complexity of today's society calls for a strategic and powerful response from non-profit organizations serving the people in and around Detroit.

With this in mind, City Connect Detroit brings together technology and people to help strengthen the human services sector in southeastern Michigan.
