Nonie Manion,
Executive Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of
Taxation and Finance, received the 2016 Hugh L. Carey Leadership Award
for Outstanding Public Stewardship. Executive Deputy Commissioner Manion
was honored for her expertise in using technology to advance the work
of the New York State Department of Tax and Finance.
The Hugh L.
Carey Leadership Award was created in memory of the late Governor Hugh
L. Carey, 51st Governor of New York, to recognize and honor a New Yorker
who, through their commitment to public service, has improved the
future well-being of New York citizens through his/her leadership,
dedication and guidance.
“Executive
Deputy Commissioner Manion’s progressive leadership is helping New York
State become a more responsive government in a digital economy. She
recognizes the importance of leveraging innovation and technology to
deliver services more efficiently and effectively to New Yorkers,” said
Margaret Miller, New York State Chief Information Officer.
“I am deeply
honored and grateful to receive this award. The accomplishments that
have helped improve the services that the Department of Tax and Finance
provides to New Yorkers has been a team effort. I would like to thank my
talented team for their dedication to the work they do every day,” said
Executive Deputy Commissioner Nonie Manion.
In presenting
the Hugh Carey Award to Executive Deputy Commissioner Manion, Robert
Plattner, New York State Deputy Commissioner for Tax Policy, said, “For
well over two decades, Nonie has combined her passion for technology
with her other considerable skills to become a driving force behind the
Department’s ongoing technological success story. Thanks to Executive
Deputy Commissioner Manion and other dedicated, talented staff, the New
York State Tax Department is considered both a clear leader among state
revenue agencies and a world-class tax administration organization.”
Nonie Manion
was appointed as Executive Deputy Commissioner in June 2013. With nearly
30 years with the Department, she has held leadership positions in
several divisions, most recently the Audit Division. One of Executive
Deputy Commissioner Manion’s biggest and most visible successes was her
role in the implementation of the Department’s data-driven case
identification and selection system (CISS). The CISS system sifts
through millions of tax returns, identifying the most suspicious as
potentially fraudulent returns improperly seeking refunds. Last year,
CISS prevented New York from paying out more than $500 million in
fraudulent refunds.
Executive
Deputy Commissioner Manion is the sixth recipient of the Hugh L. Carey
Leadership Award. Previous winners include Sheila J. Poole in 2015,
Thomas H. Mattox in 2014, Fran Reiter in 2013, Nirav R. Shah in 2012,
and RoAnn M. Destito in 2011.
The award was
presented by the Center for Digital Government and Government
Technology, in partnership with the state of New York, during a special
ceremony held during the 2016 New York State Digital Government Summit,
which took place on September 15 and 16 in Albany.
