{Benefits of the Gorge Technology Alliance}

Membership in the Gorge Technology Alliance provides you with a number of benefits that will help to grow your business and connect with others in the Columbia River Gorge high tech industry. As a member of the GTA you are entitled to:

• Access to a monthly newsletter informing you of local and regional events related to high tech and the GTA.
• Listing of yourself and/or your company on the GTA website.
• Open invitation to attend monthly GTA meetings. These meetings focus on creating opportunities for members to network with one another to create business connections. With our new "networking membership," these meetings are also an opportunity to meet potential employees/employers and to engage with individuals in similar industries.
• Chance to engage in educational presentations. These provide insight into members' businesses and information about local or statewide resources that can contribute to the success of your business.
• Right to use the GTA logo and access to GTA promotional items.
• Opportunity to have your business featured in a “member spotlight.” The member spotlight is distributed via our monthly e-newsletter to a mailing list of 150 individuals engaged in the GTA. It is also highlighted on our website homepage.
• Assistance developing press releases about your business

In addition, you are contributing to GTA initiatives and the success of high tech in the Columbia River Gorge.
