Technology Association of Iowa
Diversity in the IT Industry
The Mission: Promote Minorities
Our mission at TAI (Technology Association of Iowa) is to support minorities. Currently, the IT business is overrun by Caucasian Males. Our goal is to encourage woman, veterans, minorities, rural Iowans, and non-technical employees to train into a technology position.
The Technology Association of Iowa (TAI) is the premier professional organization accelerating the success of Iowa's technology industry and tech-based economy. Our members include organizations of every size in virtually every aspect of technology creation, production, application and education in Iowa. Iowa's tech sector fuels broad-based economic growth and is the foundation for the state's 21st Century economy. We are Iowa’s statewide voice for technology.
