Small and medium sized technology firms are the bulwark of American innovation and job creation. Yet the complications of the tax code and the availability of high skilled talent are persistent challenges to this vital sector. Congressman Dold will share with us his policy prescriptions for addressing these important issues, as well as reinforcing ways in which individuals and companies can make a difference. Our panelists will then discuss some of the specifics of the Congressman's proposals and how they apply to everyday business considerations and decisions. During the mixer, you’ll also learn about TechVoice, its new Illinois chapter, and how you can get involved.
