Acknowledging our 2007 Funding Partners and Contributors:

As TAG completes its ninth year in existence and first year of funded operations, we are proud of having established a dynamic and useful community resource in our programs and services. More people than ever before are participating in TAG events, volunteering for and supporting TAG and its mission of educating, advocating and promoting for a strong technology economy in Bellingham and Whatcom County.

TAG would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our funding partners and other contributors in 2007. We would not be able to provide the many programs and services in the past year without your support.
