What Happens When Leadership Extends Beyond the Boardroom?

The best technology leaders don’t just build great systems.

They build great teams. They mentor future talent. They strengthen their organizations. And, perhaps most importantly, they help create opportunities for the next generation of leaders.

That spirit of leadership is at the heart of the CIO Council of South Florida.

Every year, our community comes together through the Annual CIO Golf Outing to do something that extends well beyond a day on the golf course. Together, we invest in students, support educational partnerships, and help develop the technology workforce that will shape South Florida for years to come.

Leadership isn’t confined to the office or the boardroom. It is reflected in the decisions we make about our communities and the opportunities we create for others.

Our scholarship program is one example. By partnering with local school districts and educational organizations, the CIO Council helps deserving students pursue higher education and careers in technology. Through our partnership with GetMyInterns, we’re also helping connect employers with talented high school students seeking meaningful internship experiences—creating a pathway from the classroom to the workplace.

These initiatives are all connected.

Scholarships encourage students to pursue technology. Internships provide real-world experience. Professional networking introduces them to the leaders who are shaping our industry today.

It is a continuum of opportunity made possible by organizations and individuals who believe that investing in future talent is one of the most important responsibilities of leadership.

That is why the CIO Golf Outing matters.

Yes, it’s an outstanding day of golf and networking. It is also an opportunity for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to workforce development, community engagement, and the future of technology in South Florida.

Whether you participate as a player, sponsor, scholarship partner, or volunteer, your involvement helps create opportunities that extend far beyond the boardroom!.

The 19th Annual CIO Golf Outing will take place on Friday, September 25, 2026, at Jacaranda Golf Club in Fort Lauderdale.

Player Packages are available at $950 per foursome, and premium sponsorship opportunities remain available for organizations that want to support the CIO Council Scholarship Fund while engaging with South Florida’s technology leadership community.

Leadership is measured not only by the organizations we build, but by the opportunities we create for others.
