Region 3 Conference Next Week! 

AAMVA's Region 3 Conference takes place next week, October 23 – 25, in Oak Brook, Illinois! Special features unique to this conference will include a Jurisdiction Showcase, for attendees to share their successes and challenges with their colleagues, and a scenic cruise on Lake Michigan. The conference provides an opportunity for you and your peers to discuss relevant driver's license, motor vehicle, and law enforcement related issues. As with every AAMVA conference, the ability to network is one of the most beneficial experiences, and this year's regional conference provides several networking opportunities as well as interactive learning opportunities. Jurisdiction attendees will learn about the successes and challenges of others, share ideas, build relationships, and discover the many products and services provided by our industry partners that can assist in your mission. Industry attendees will have the opportunity to meet with key players in the driver's license, motor vehicle and law enforcement arenas.

The NMVTIS SWI Web Application is used by the states to perform title verification and data corrections. This webinar focuses on how the states use the administrative features to oversee the states user community. A brief overview of the SWI application is also provided. The SWI application has been built so that each state manages their own user community. This includes configuring the system with organizations to which users are assigned. The state administrator is responsible for user role assignments and user account activation and deactivation. The SWI Application also includes a reporting component that allows state administrators to monitor user activity.
