IT United is designed to deepen the understanding, commitment and support of technology leaders to United Way and to
recognize their deep commitment to service. A team of prominent chief information officers (CIOs) and technology
leaders formed IT United in 2007.
IT United brings together leaders in the technology industry in metro Atlanta and provides numerous benefits to its member companies, including:
- Increased visibility of your organization in your local community.
- Further business growth of your company.
- A forum to interact with your customers and build stronger relationships.
- Participation in events like the Art of Wine and IT United's signature event, the CIO forum. At the CIO Forum each year two technology companies are recognized in front of their peers as leaders in the community.
- A synergy for you to work with other technology leaders around a central cause, and through the annual CEO calls allows for individual time with top CIOs in metro Atlanta.
