History
NAGW had its beginnings in 2003, when a Kansas City group called the Metro Area Government Webmasters (MAGWeb) decided to sponsor a national conference for their peers.
This first Government Webmasters Conference drew more than 200 attendees from 29 states. Buoyed by that success, MAGWeb held a second conference in 2004, which attracted even greater attendance. Conference planners then decided to pass the baton and turned the conference over to a new hosting city, Denver, in 2005.
Some of the same people who planned the Kansas City and Denver conferences formed NAGW. The association officially came into being at the Denver conference in September 2005 and elected its first officers.
Non-Profit Information
The National Association of Government Web Professionals Inc has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that it qualifies as a 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation. As required by law, NAGW's Application for Non-Profit Status (IRS 1024) and Determination letter is available on the Non-Profit Information page, along with other important paperwork.
