AzTEA’s MISSION AND PARTNER BENEFITS
The
Arizona Technology in Education Alliance (AzTEA), an International Society
for Technology in Education (ISTE) affiliate, is a professional non-profit
organization devoted to increasing student achievement through technology in
teaching and learning. Our
mission is to empower the educational community in Arizona to infuse
technology as an integral part of the educational process.
We do this by providing advocacy and leadership, promoting
educational reform, and supporting technology based innovation through our
services, activities, programs, and collaborative efforts.
AzTEA’s Corporate Partnership program is an excellent opportunity to reach
our membership, a large group of technology savvy teachers and
administrators. Your
participation provides a critical link between the educational and business
communities in our commitment to provide quality educational programs for
students in Arizona.
Partnership

The Corporate Partnership program will help your organization budget

AzTEA
INFORMATION
Regional Chapters
Given the size of our state and the need
to have membership that is representative of urban as well as rural
interests, AzTEA has formed regional chapters.
Chapters are active in the Phoenix metropolitan area (Westside and
Eastside), Northern Arizona and Southern Arizona.
The Northern, Southern and Westside Chapters hold regional
conferences (open to all). The
Eastside Chapter is AzTEA’s liaison to the Microcomputers in Education
Conference (MEC) and the Arizona Department of Education Mega Conference.
Corporate Advisory Council
This is a newly created group designed to
advise the AzTEA’s Board on corporate partnership issues.
The Advisory Council is called upon by the elected non-voting
Corporate Partner AzTEA Board Member as needed.
Corporate Partner listserv (under
development as of 10/04)
AzTEA has formed a listserv for our
Corporate Partners to provide members with similar interests and
responsibilities to establish a statewide support and resource network.
Corporate memberships through the partnership programs described in
this brochure include participation in the listserv. Contact Tom Lind or Chris Niemeyer to have your name included
on the listserv.
