Programs described in its return (2)
- TECHNET HAS HOSTED DOZENS OF PUBLIC POLICY EVENTS FOR ITS MEMBERS. THESE EVENTS ALLOW MEMBERS TO MEET WITH POLICYMAKERS AT BOTH THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL. THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENTS IS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE MEMBERS OF THE HIGH-TECH COMMUNITY AND POLICYMAKERS. THE DISCUSSION OF THESE IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY TOPICS BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS STRENGTHEN AMERICAN INNOVATION AND THE HIGH-TECH COMMUNITY, WHICH TECHNET SERVES.
- TECHNET HAS A SOPHISTICATED WEBSITE AND E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR ITS MEMBERS. TECHNET STAFF, IN CONSULTATION WITH ITS MEMBERS, IS INVOLVED IN SHAPING PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE HIGH-TECH INDUSTRY AND INFLUENCING PUBLIC POLICY ON AMERICAN INNOVATION ISSUES. TECHNET DEVELOPS POLICY POSITIONS IN COLLABORATION WITH ITS MEMBERS, WHICH ARE MADE PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE AND COMMUNICATED TO STATE AND FEDERAL POLICYMAKERS AS PART OF A LEGISLATIVE EFFORT.
