Nashville Tech

The Nashville Technology Council today announced that Microsoftbecame a Diamond level sponsor, making them one of only four companies to achieve this distinction. With an emphasis on increasing and enhancing the region’s high tech workforce, Microsoft’s financial commitment supports initiatives such as FirstCamp – an event for high school students that encourages them to pursue technology related careers. Their sponsorship also includes funding toward establishment of a full time position at the NTC to focus exclusively on tech workforce development and creation of an award to recognize a local technology educator at the NTC’s annual Tech Awards Gala in the fall.When asked to comment, NTC Board Member Gary Seay, Senior Vice President and CIO, Community Health Systems, stated, “We appreciate Microsoft’s increased commitment to the Nashville Technology Council and look forward to a growing partnership with them as they continue to support our local technology efforts. Nashville has a growing community of technology professionals and entrepreneurs, with many of them working on solutions for our healthcare challenges. All of us will benefit from Microsoft’s increased support.
