The group's goal is to provide a forum for technology leaders to get together and discuss important or interesting issues facing the unique role of a technology executive in business. TecOA meetings are specifically designed to provide professional and personal value to attendees. To assist in this task, each meeting not only has a topic, but also a deliverable. This way, members will actually leave every meeting with both the knowledge and information provided, and also a tangible and useful result. For more information about TecOA, or to subscribe to our email discussion or announcement lists, visit the TecOA web site: http://www.tecoa.org Meetings are always held on the last Wednesday of every month at 4:00 PM. Except November 2002 - the meeting is being held at noon due to Thanksgiving the following day. ---- November Meeting Information TecOA - http://www.tecoa.org When: November 27, 2002 - 12:00 PM Where: NOTE: New location - around the corner from ASU The Muse Cafe 1032 South Terrace Road >From Rural (Scottsdale Road) and University, go south on Rural 1/2 mile, turn left (east) on Terrace.
