Working Together Toward Digital Equity
for the St. Louis Area
Please join St. Louis area community leaders in an engaging and candid dialogue about community technology in the St. Louis area. This meeting is key to our efforts to develop a strategic plan for community technology in our area. As part of a nation-wide effort to strengthen community technology collaboration, this meeting is made possible by the America Connects Consortium and the St. Louis Brown Bag Technology Collaborative.
St. Louis area community technology leaders met in September, 2001 and in April, 2002 and identified goals and objectives for community technology. Now we are inviting business and policy leaders and other interested stakeholders to join in this process so that we can work together to develop effective strategies for reaching our community technology goals. We’ve done our homework and now we need your help. Please join us!
9:30 AM – 12:30 PM (Please RSVP)
