Rep. Murray Appointed to SIPA Board of Directors


State Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, today announced that she has been appointed to serve on the Colorado Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA) Board of Directors.

Murray will serve as the member of the Colorado House of Representatives on the SIPA Board of Directors. As a member of the board, Murray will work with other board members to oversee the maintenance and development of the Colorado.gov Web site.

“Every day, more and more Coloradans are interacting with their state government through the Web,” Murray said. “That is why it is important to deliver state government information and services as efficiently and user friendly as possible.”

The 13-member SIPA Board of Directors is consists of representatives from both the private and public sector. Created by the state Legislature in 2004, the SIPA Board of Directors is tasked with using the latest in technological and business solutions to deliver the best possible state government experience for Web users.

“Colorado citizens expect their government to deliver as many services as possible via the internet and I hope to be able to facilitate movement in that direction, not only for state government, but for local jurisdictions as well,” Murray said. “For example, the Douglas County School District uses SIPA as their fee payment engine, used by Douglas County parents every day. Any local jurisdiction may use SIPA to handle their local contact with citizens.”

When Murray was Douglas County Clerk and Recorder, she was instrumental in crafting a bill enabling electronic real estate recordings, which now makes Colorado one of the leading states to allow e-recordings.

Murray, who was recommended to serve on the board by House Republican Leader Mike may, R-Parker, was appointed by House Speaker Terrance Carroll, D-Denver. She will begin serving as a member of the SIPA Board of Directors immediately.
