Technology Advocacy & Technology Public Policy

As an advocate for technology companies in Arizona, the Council continuously monitors federal, state and local policies that impact the growth of Arizona’s technology industry. With the strength of over 600 member companies, the Council informs and educates policy makers on issues that are important to Arizona's technology community.

The Council is becoming one of the state’s leaders in driving a pro-growth, business-focused state and federal technology agenda. The Council serves as a voice for the technology community, testifying before the legislature on a regular basis. As part of the annual Governor's Celebration of Innovation, the Public Policy Committee selects ten Arizona legislators with a track record of supporting the technology industry to be honored during the awards ceremony.
