So you really did take some time off for the Thanksgiving
break - that's great! With only a few days left to November,
we've decided to extend the deadline for the second annual
Ones to Watch Award, presented by CIO Magazine and the CIO
Executive Council, to Friday, Dec. 2. This award identifies
the rising stars in IT: senior staff who are destined to become
the CIOs of the future. To be honored, these future CIOs must
have demonstrated leadership, driven innovation and delivered
value to the business; in short, they will soon be able to head
up their own IT organization. Nominate your favorite
