TecOA (http://www.tecoa.org) is a free group open to technology leaders
(CTO, CIO, VP, etc...) from all industries. 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 free and are always open to anyone who is interested in
attending. TecOA meetings are held on the last Wednesday of every
month at 4:00 PM.
