I've been a member of CTC since 1999 and in that time, I've seen it grow and help businesses and people in Carroll County. We have produced a local access television series about technology issues in the county important to people, helped municipalities identify needs and goals, donated over 500 refurbished computers to needy families and non profit organizations in Carroll County, and offered educational seminars to the public on all aspects of technology from network security to using social media to promote your business. We trying to help promote all aspects of technology in the county as well as attract businesses. The people who make up CTC are interesting and friendly and really want to make a difference in their community. I've enjoyed my time and want to continue to help this organization grow. I never expected it to so well when we became independent of the Chamber of Commerce in 2005.
