Leading Government Affairs Professionals Gather in Washington, DC at AeA’s Semi-annual State Government Affairs Meeting

Washington, DC (June 18, 2008) – On Tuesday, approximately 30 high-tech state government affairs professionals from across the nation gathered in AeA’s David Packard Conference Center to discuss the latest news from state legislative sessions, and to strategize for the 2009 legislative year at the semi-annual AeA State Government Affairs meeting. The meeting was chaired by Jim Wall, Regional Government Affairs Director, Microsoft, and Monica Mueller, State Government Affairs Manager, Motorola.

“These semi-annual meetings allow AeA to interact directly with our member companies and discuss important issues surrounding the high-tech industry at the state level,” said Roxanne Gould, AeA’s Senior Vice President of State Governmental Affairs. “These meetings are imperative to ensure that AeA's State Government Affairs program will continue to address members’ legislative needs.”

Between the meetings, AeA hosts regular conference calls on the priority issues, and intelligence is shared on AeA's SGA Information Network - a web-based resource which provides one-of-a-kind information on issues affecting the high-tech industry. The AeA Information Network was designed to allow members to easily obtain information regarding state government affairs activities that impact their companies.

AeA is currently following these policy issues in the states: e-commerce, education workforce, emerging technologies, environment, tax, procurement, and other state-specific issues.
