Rick Stomphorst, cofounder, has reached out to Halton Local Federal Candidates via email, asking what their position is on helping the hitech industry grow in Halton Region. Below is what he’s sent to each one of them:
Hello Candidates, I’m an IT leader living in Halton Region. 19 months ago I co-started a hi tech community in Halton called Silicon Halton. Our goal is to build a strong and engaged network to help all realize and promote the importance and vibrancy of the high-tech community in the Halton Region. Silicon Halton has grown to 290 members. With the Federal election upon us, our members have a question for you:
What is your position on helping growing the hitech sector in Halton Region and if so, what plans do you have in helping make this happen?
We are sending this same question to all candidates in Halton Region. We will post all replies in our private online social network group on LinkedIn.com: http://linkd.in/hy8VpW We appreciate your time in answering this question. We would further appreciate your reply by 5pm Thursday April 21, 2011. Best Regards, Rick Stomphorst Co-Founder, Silicon Halton www.SiliconHalton.com Twitter.com/SiliconHalton LinkedIn group: http://linkd.in/hy8VpW
