We hope this outreach finds you in good health and good spirits!
Coronavirus has forever changed our world. At TAG, we’ve virtualized our events, programs and services to evolve our support of our local technology community. (We invite you to review our TAG Newsletters from April and May and original TAG Spring 2020 Update for review.)
To highlight: We’ve launched three exciting new programs this spring: Whatcom STEM, TAG Mentorship, and TAG Consulting. Below is our outreach and calls to action. Please review the news announcements below for details, and share with your team and peers. We’d love for you to participate!
