TechAmerica State Government Affairs: Policy Issues
TechAmerica is currently following these policy issues in the states:
About the SGA Program: Overview
The TechAmerica SGA network includes on the ground in-house professionals in California, Texas, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, and Florida. Additionally, through our affiliation with the regional high-tech trade associations of TECNA and our contract lobbyists in other states, TechAmerica has a true 50-state network.
SGA is broken down into two sections for coverage – Regional Managers and Policy Committees. Regional managers monitor all legislative developments in a given region and report back to relevant policy committees on any developments that might be of interest. They also manage TechAmerica’s relationships with all contract lobbyists in their region.
Policy Committees hold meeting and phone calls to develop state policies and keep TechAmerica’s member companies apprised of emerging policy issues in all 50-states on their issues.
The regional breakdown can be found on the below map. If you have a question about an issue in a given state, please contact the appropriate regional manager.
