  • Over the past decade, the New England Technology Foundation has made a significant financial impact on the lives of thousands of children and their families through consistent contributions to the charities it supports.  For many of these non-profit organizations, the financial contribution from the NE Tech Foundation funds a significant portion of their budgets.   In both strong economic times and more challenging ones, it is important that the technology community comes together to help those less fortunate in our communities.

    This year's event committee chairpersons are:

    • Event Co-chairs: Derek Lee and Kevin Wiant
    • Sponsorship Chair: Steve Zamierowski
    • Auction Chairperson: Leslie Whittet

    Please contact the chairpersons if you are interested in participating on one of these committees.

    We hope that you consider contributing at one of our
    sponsor levels and look forward to seeing you on the 
    27th of March.  For sponsorship opportunities please email zam@deloitte.com.

    Kevin Wiant
    President, New England Technology Foundation
