TAG Breakfast Series: Policy, Programs & Procurement

Program Description

The Technology Association of Georgia is pleased to announce the continuation of TAG Breakfast Series: Policy, Programs & Procurement. This program is structured to educate TAG members on the important functions of government and how it relates to their professions.

The Series is a great opportunity for Georgia's technology community to meet and network with prominent government officials and heads of agencies around the state. TAG members will not only hear about the important issues ongoing around the state, but they will also have the opportunity to share their own concerns/interests regarding the direction of state policy.

In 2010, TAG's Breakfast Series will be divided into quarterly programs covering a variety of hot-button topics relevant to the growth and promotion of Georgia's technology community. Please be sure to join us for discussions on broadband, green technologies and more!
