Mobility mobilizer. ATARC is known for convening groups from government, academia and industry, but Suder knows events alone are not enough. "You have these great conversations…then everyone decamps and goes their separate ways," he said. To change that, the two-time Federal 100 winner set up working groups that convened weekly via telephone to make sure projects were implemented to improve government service. In all, he worked with 160 people from 75 organizations to deliver a 235-page report to the White House on improving the federal government's use of mobile technology.
