A Welcome Letter From TECNA’s Leadership
January 2013 Dear Technology Councils leaders, Welcome to this brief overview of TECNA; the Technology Councils of North America. We are an organization with three distinct elements to our mission, and a long history of leadership and impact. The first aspect of our mission is to provide a platform for the exchange of news, information, and best practices for presidents, executive directors, staff and volunteers who lead and support technology oriented trade associa-tions at regional, state, and provincial levels, in North America and, now, around the world. In this way we are the leading professional development organization for our industry. Our second role is to bring our member organizations together as a collective force of more than 50 distinct associa-tions with some 25,000 individual technology companies as members. We monitor and enhance the role of our members as the leading advocates for building innovation eco-systems throughout the regions and states of the US and the provinces of Canada, and a growing number of regions beyond North America. Finally, we play a role in Washington and Ottawa to bring ideas about funding and programs that promote economic and job growth through the support of specific efforts and institutions at the regional level. If you are a member, thanks for the contribution you make to TECNA and, thus, our “industry”. If your membership has lapsed or you have not had the opportunity to join us in the past, please consider being a part of this dynamic and impactful movement. Tino Mantella, President 2011-2013, Technology Association of Georgia

TECNA Now Offers Affiliate Memberships to Peer Organizations in Europe
The experience of TECNA members in the US and Canada is that our respective organizations have so much in common and we learn a great deal from our peers. We know that we also have much in common with similar organizations in Europe and so TECNA would like to engage our colleagues across the E.U. through an affiliate membership. Just as technology councils in North America benefit from membership in TECNA, European councils can also take advantage of these same benefits:
Access to TECNA network. TECNA has over 20,000 member technology companies as members of the different technology associations across North America.
Access to TECNA-exclusive events. As an affiliate member, you're always welcome, so next time you travel to North America, remember to check what's happening at the technology council closest to you.
Access to new investment and business possibilities for your company and region. TECNA-Euro affiliate membership is available for a flat annual rate of €500.00.
