Testimonials

“The ability to be in tune with that community and adapt as the landscape around us changes is something that TAG has set the standard for support with a vision and mission statement they hold themselves accountable to. TAG took a bold stance and created a Social Justice & Equity task force I was honored to be co-chair of. The results of that committee’s hard work was the foundation of Bridge Builders. Two years later this program led by Dr. Loretta Daniels has leapt into community engagement and produced great wins focusing on underrepresented tech professionals within the state of Georgia. It is truly impressive and will be a gamechanger for inclusivity for years to come.”

-Michael Sullivan, Retired Chief Information Officer, Southern Company

“Invest Connect is a great opportunity for early stage underrepresented tech entrepreneurs to meet with well established investors. I was honored to co-chair this event where six underrepresented founders had the opportunity to present to a room full of forty venture capital and angel investors. This competition resulted in two leaders receiving non-dilutive cash awards.”
