NJTC Tech PAC

15 Oct 2008 19:40:51 GMT

The NJTC TechPAC is a voluntary vehicle through which we can raise money and make contributions to the campaigns of those New Jersey State Legislators and candidates who support the NJTC's goals and objectives. Before supporting any State Legislator or candidate, the NJTC TechPAC scrutinizes the voting records; bill sponsorships; support of NJTC interests, including economic growth initiatives and issues affecting the New Jersey technology industry in the future. Please consider a contribution today to the NJTC TechPAC. To move a pro-technology agenda forward, the technology community must have allies in the legislature. Through your support of the NJTC TechPAC, we can add the voice of the New Jersey technology community to the political debate. If everyone contributes, no matter how large or small, the NJTC TechPAC can quickly become a political force. Democracy is not a spectator sport. We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and let others dominate the political decision making process. It is important that we show our collective strength by supporting friends of technology on both sides of the political isle. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Ethan Hasbrouck at (856) 787-9700 or any member of the PAC Board. To make a contribution contact Ethan Hasbrouck at (856) 787-9700 ext. 236.

The NJTC believes that the Government Affairs Committee offers members an unmatched opportunity to meet with State Legislators and Executive Branch members to raise the visibility of the technology community. These quarterly meetings give members a chance to educate policymakers on how decisions made in Trenton impact technology businesses.

NJTC Tech Agenda

New Jersey maintains a significant national leadership position in United States as one of the top ten destination states for technology companies. However, that leadership position is fragile. There have been signs of fatigue in many of the metrics that are studied comparing New Jersey to its peers. This fatigue was confirmed by multiple national economic rankings that showed New Jersey lagging in the attraction of jobs and investment.
