Congratulations to @TechNetUpdate President and CEO @LindaMooreDC on being named a 2026 @Washingtonian Tech Titan! Proud to work alongside Linda and the TechNet team every day to champion American innovation and strengthen U.S. technology leadership.
The @TechNetUpdate state team gathered in Savannah for @SGACNews鈥檚 National Summit. Thanks SGAC for another productive event. See you in Chicago!
.@TechNetUpdate was back in Annapolis, MD on day 鉁岎煆籵f the 2026 legislative session. We hosted the Senate Finance and House Economic Matters Committees for dinner and heard from Finance chair (and 2025 Champion of Innivation awardee) Pam Beidle and new ECM chair @ValderramaforMD.
Yesterday I attended the @PAPressClub event featuring gubernatorial candidate @GarrityForPA. Treasurer Garrity discussed data center development and the Treasury's #AI policy to protect PII. Thanks Stacy Garrity for sharing your insights. #datacenters #AI #artificialintelligence
My favorite event at PA Society in NYC is Saturday at Maggie鈥檚 with old friends and new. @TechNetUpdate sponsored the event, along with member company @amazon, and I caught up with @Ancestry and @Uber. PA Society was a great way to close out a successful 2025.
Back in Harrisburg today to attend a House Comms. & Tech. Committee hearing on the use of #AI in healthcare.
Annual PA Society weekend up in NYC! A fun way to end 2025. We love seeing our @TechNetUpdate members and friends. @lyft @Deloitte
Today @TechNetUpdate supported New Jersey A6147, legislation that will lower the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage requirements for #TNCs and #TNC drivers. NJ currently mandates the highest amount for UM/UIM TNC coverages at $1.5M.
Yesterday NJ Senator @AndrewZwicker joined @TechNetUpdate members for a TECHtalk. Sen. Zwicker was elected to the Senate in 2021, and served in the Assembly from 2016 to 2021. While in the Assembly, he was the聽inaugural chair of the the Science, Innovation, and Technology Cmte.
A few weeks ago, I joined Pennsylvania @Sen_Pennycuick at her "Senator for a Day" event. These events bring together local high school students to immerse themselves in the legislative process. Students meet in committees and on the floor to amend, debate, and vote bills.
