Chicago, IL – September 12, 2005 – The AeA Midwest Council announced today that it would accept and circulate resumes and job requests from the Katrina impacted regions. Potential job candidates will be encouraged to fax, email, or mail their qualifications to the AeA Midwest Council’s office.

“The AeA’s Midwest Council represents a vibrant technological corridor with great opportunity,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO and the Chairman of the AeA’s Midwest Council. “We must make these opportunities available to those displaced by Katrina and demonstrate corporate responsibility in responding to this tragedy,” added Singer.
