Greater Richmond Technology Awards Update
The big Awards Gala was this week. It was an overwhelming event. I loved the generous time for networking during the “cocktail hour” before we were seated for dinner - met a few new folks and caught up with some old friends. We were joined at our table by Rob Mercer (Virginia Asset Management) and Jonathan Young & Dr. Gymama Slaughter (Virginia State University) and were surrounded by many friends - Karen & Josh Cole of Assura, Inc., Genevieve Roberts & Lee Weisiger of The Titan Group, Christina Morgan of PMI CVC, Jim Staley of T-Mobile, and I could go on and on. Although we did not win the Technology Builder Award (it went to Dominion Digital), it was an incredible experience to see our name on the big screen as our company profile was read to the approximately 400 folks in attendance! We are looking forward to greater involvement with the Tech Council (which, by the way, is now called RichTech). Also loved hearing about the incredible technical education programs that are available in so many of the area public school systems. Can’t imagine what will be available by the time our children are in high school - we may need a tutor for Todd & me so we can help the kids with their homework!
