About Us...

The Digital Media Developers (DMD) group (an Information Technology Advisory Board (ITAB) subcommittee)  provides a forum for Missouri government digital media developers to discuss the presentation and dissemination of digital media.

Our goal is to serve the general public and state government content providers better by improving the quality and integrity of state government information and services accessed via digital media.
