A note from the Chairman of the Board
Tech Titans started 2019 by setting aggressive goals reflecting the priorities and interests of our members who represent a quarter of a million employees through our 350-member companies.
Our goals are linked to STEM talent, forums and programs, innovation, advocacy, networking, educational events, member services and our annual awards gala.
I’m pleased to report that the Blockchain, Analytics & Insights, Design & Manufacturing and IoT Forums are leading the way in planning collaborative, crossover events along business verticals. On Oct. 22, we will showcase member companies and all special interest forums at the Live! Expo and happy hour.
Our 2019 advocacy program focused its efforts on the 86th Session of the Texas Legislature as well as impactful Tech Titans days in Austin.
One of our most successful programs continues to be our STEM workforce program, which is focused on meeting the tech workforce demands of the future. Congratulations to the STEM team who is on track to meet its target of producing inspirational STEM experiences for 6,000 North Texas area school students this year.
As the largest technology trade association in Texas, we will celebrate with our prestigious annual Tech Titans Awards Gala on Friday, Aug. 23. Based on our sell-out success in 2018, we again will host it at the Renaissance Plano Legacy West.
The highest quality inspirational nominations have been submitted for our 2019 annual awards, and the finalists and winners will be recognized at our Awards Gala. The Gala will honor the leaders, inventors, adopters, advocates and educators from all sizes of organizations in the North Texas technology ecosystem.
Keeping positive financials allows Tech Titans to expand into new areas of interest and offer enhanced services to our members. We continue to achieve a positive net income and are also on track to establish a
501(c)(3) designation that will support our STEM educational efforts.
All this could not be achieved without the passion and energy from all of you, our members, committee volunteers, speakers, board members and staff.
