Message from the Board Chair

Richard L. Grier
Board Chair
 

This is a great time to become the new Chair of the Greater Richmond Technology Council.   Our economy is picking up at last and  technology
companies are beginning to see expansion of the technology budgets in their clients.  We, as members of the Council, have the opportunity,
working together, to make a real impact on the growth of technology and technology companies in Virginia.  Already, our programs and events for
2004 are receiving greater support.  We are also beginning two new initiatives for 2004.  One involves coordinating and expanding educational and training opportunities for the benefit of our Members.

The other involves coordinating opportunities for our Members to make their skills available to assist non-profit community benefit organizations.   It is a thrill to serve in this position at this time and I look forward to a great year with all of you.  Please feel free to contact me with you questions, your thoughts and your hopes for the Council.

   February 10 GRTC Luncheon - Governor Mark Warner

Since taking office in January 2002, Governor Warner has been faced with a series of unanticipated crises. From the aftermath of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, through an economic recession, to finding himself as CEO of a state with a $6 billion revenue shortfall, the Governor has had to focus his attention on the more mundane aspects of the office.

This has not, however, kept Governor Warner from introducing significant legislative initiatives that aim to fundamentally change major aspects of how Virginia's public sector operates. These initiatives include; procurement, the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, and, of course this year - tax reform.

Join us for lunch on February 10 as Governor Warner provide his insights on these and other important issues.
