The Spirit of Endeavor, which resides in most of us in the technology business, is a critical component in the creation and execution of ideas that the technology industry thrives upon. As we continue to build Georgia into a place that is internationally recognized as a haven for the advancement of technology, it is essential that we take time to recognize those among us that embody and display that Spirit.
