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.
