Letter from the President

by VTRCC President Diane Poldy

As the Chamber continues on our steady path of growth in membership and activities, our need for technology is also growing. Steve Salley (Smith Barney), VTRCC’s Vice President of Business Development, is responding to the Chamber’s need in this area by establishing a Technology Committee. The goal of the Committee is to research and implement ways technology can help us become more productive and responsive to the needs of our growing membership as well as the community.

Gary Moonan (Geeks On Call-Vienna East) will chair the Committee. His goals include better visibility for the Chamber through technology, implementing e- commerce on our Web site, and software systems research and analysis. This is a very exciting and challenging step forward, and we need the help of members who are willing to contribute their expertise, time and commitment. The opportunities for Committee members to give a little to the Chamber and get a lot back are boundless.

If you are able to contribute your ideas, skills and resources to this next phase of growth for the Chamber, please email Gary Moonan at gary.mo onan@geeksoncall.com. Our motto says, “We’re not just talking about the future, we’re shaping it.” I hope you’ll join us as we do it!

When the Cold War Museum opens on an old Nike missile site in Lorton, a museum logo made entirely of Legos (20,736 of them to be precise) will be ready to go. Cold War Museum founder Gary Powers, whose father was the famous U-2 pilot shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960, commissioned the work after seeing other works done entirely in Legos.
