The Good Morning, Technology! breakfast will be this Thursday, April 17, featuring George Boatright, Director of Information Technology for Media General. The media industry – particularly the newspaper business – faces technology challenges daily as they work to maintain market share in an increasingly competitive landscape. Mr. Boatright’s presentation will cover Media General’s history, and talk about the current challenges and opportunities the company faces as they work to put out daily newspapers and maximize their on-line media presence. He will also detail the lessons learned from last year’s Hanover production plant fire.

Peak 10 is a Greater Richmond Technology Council
Business Partner – one of the companies that gives substantial resources
to the GRTC in support of the Council’s mission to ensure the continued
growth of the highly dynamic technology economy in central
Virginia.
During the past few years, Peak 10 Richmond (formerly
bayMountain) sponsored and participated in several GRTC events, including
the breakfast series and TechSummits. “We felt that unifying all of these
efforts under the Business Partner banner was the logical next step,” says
Rob Fichter, Sr. Account Executive for Peak 10 in Richmond. “We have a
long-term commitment to seeing Council continue to grow, and increased our
participation to help make that happen.”
One of nine data centers
the company has strategically placed throughout the southeast and Midwest,
Peak 10 Richmond shares the company’s local focus in each of the nine
markets it serves. “We primarily see our GRTC membership as an opportunity
to be part of a community of like-minded companies using technology to
build strong businesses in Richmond,” says Fichter. Read more

The 2008 Virginia
Technology Internship Program is coming together fast – we’re looking for
companies interested in offering paid internships to some of the best and
the brightest rising seniors from local high schools. The mentor companies
that participated in the 2006 and 2007 programs have been unanimously
positive about their experience with their interns, and we’re looking to
make 2008 the first year that we place every interested student in an
internship.
The Council is partnering with Genworth Financial and
VirginiaFIRST to offer students the opportunity to apply knowledge and
skills learned in their IT-related courses, working in a business
environment as they discover the potential rewards of pursuing
technology-related degrees and careers. Mentor companies have the
opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of their
interns, and to have a real impact on workforce development in central
Virginia.
If you participate, you will be able to review the
student resumes and select your preferred candidates. To become a mentor,
please complete this form
and fax to Barb Jones at (804)
622-7766.
For more information contact the Council (804) 379-1177, Barb Jones (804) 662-2700, or Bill Ginther (804) 864-8827.
In addition to the brand-refresh, SPIN will move to the Richmond International Raceway complex.
