Sponsorship Fact Sheet

2004-05 Theme: Tradition of Professionalism

Our theme for this year is ‘Tradition of Professionalism’. Looking at our organization as we have moved forward in the last several years I see how many people have joined the organization and visited us. As I talk to people who join us at our meetings I see how many different roles those people have in the Information Technology market.

Seeing those roles and working with people in the organization, ‘Tradition of Professionalism’ is so appropriate for us this year to honor the professional roles of the people we have met and worked with. More importantly the professionalism everyone shows whether they are on the board, volunteers, or attendees reflects that tradition of the organization and of the Twin Cities IT community.
