 | RETIREMENT 
 |  | Dr. Anthony Cresswell Retires after 20 Years at CTG
  
 It is with a mixture of warm wishes and sadness that CTG announces the retirement of Dr. Anthony Cresswell, who from 1994 to 2013 played a major role in the success of CTG as it grew into a globally recognized leader in digital government research and practice. Dr. Cresswell semi-retired at the end of 2011, but continued to work at CTG as a Senior Fellow until this past month.      "For over 20 years Tony's keen insight into practice problems and his commitment to systematic examination of those problems contributed greatly to CTG's research and knowledge transfer activities, as well as to the success of CTG itself as an organization." said Theresa Pardo, director of CTG. "Governments throughout the world will continue to benefit from his work for a long time to come."   |
