He was inducted into the CIO magazine CIO Hall of Fame in 2008. Texas Governor Rick Perry has appointed Morrow to three terms on the state's Department of Information Resources governing board.

"There's no question it's time for a new standard in food safety automation and enforcement," says Morrow. "Based on everything I've seen in the industry, I'm confident alert is the answer, and I'm very gratified to be able to play a part in rolling it out to a wider audience."
