NJTC Government Affairs sponsored by SILLS CUMMIS & GROSS

Ted Zangari, Chairman, Government Affairs Committee

The New Jersey Technology Council's primary mission is to support its membership - the technology and tech support companies of New Jersey. There is no place the Council can be more powerful than in Trenton, where decisions that impact the economic conditions of the state are made daily. Check out these Government Affairs programs, projects and opportunities:

• Tech Agenda
• Political action through financial support of pro-technology legislators by the NJTC TechPAC; and
• Grassroots activity through Project TechVOTE which includes voter registration, voter education and Get Out the Vote efforts.
• Sept-07-2006 Governor Corzine Unveils Economic Growth Strategy. Visit the State's new website for business.

The NJTC encourages its members to get involved in the Council's ongoing commitment to raise the visibility of technology in New Jersey and emphasize its importance to the future economy of our State. The NJTC maintains an active Government Affairs committee comprised of representatives of private companies, state government agencies and educational institutions - all committed to the advancement of the technology community.

Representatives from the following organizations are active participants on the committee: Verizon, Comcast, Princeton University, PSE&G, Duane Morris LLP, NJ Economic Development Authority, Drinker Biddle, Rutgers University, 4Connections, Rowan University, Coriell Institute, Sills Cummis & Gross, Woodcock Washburn and the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology.

We invite you to join us in bridging the gap between government and the technology business community and help shape the future of New Jersey. Check the calendar of programs section for future meeting dates.
