Greetings!
The buzz is growing about our 10th annual Awards Night event this May. Registration and award nominations are now open. Each year we honor several people or companies in one of four categories. I am hoping for a record number of nominations this year. Our board of directors and the corporate sponsors of each award category serve as judges. This year, the award categories are: Educator of the Year, Technology Company of the Year, Innovator of the Year, and Entrepreneur of the Year.
You will also see a box on the registration form for Awards Night that says "I would like to be a Reception Sponsor". For an additional $100, your company name and logo will be proudly displayed in the reception area prior to dinner and you will be acknlowledged during the program. All proceeds of this sponsorship will benefit our Future Focus Educational Foundation, helping K-12 students in Region 2000 gain insight into STEM careers.
Lastly, I would like to welcome TCN Solutions, LLC as the newest member to our technology community. You can read about TCN Solutions and all our members here. I look forward to seeing you at our next event, Tech@Breakfast on March 16.
-Jonathan Whitt, Executive Director
