Brief HistoryThe Upper Valley Computer Industry Association (UVCIA) was founded in 1993 in a collaboration between the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College and a group of Upper Valley businesses and consultants; the UVCIA was envisioned as a forum for discussions of matters of interest to people working in computer technology related fields. Meetings of the association were held initially at the Thayer School but the venue was soon moved to the Coolidge Hotel in White River Junction, VT. To accommodate work schedules, meetings began at 7:30 am. Presentations and discussions were normally concerned with aspects of computer technology. Attendees came from throughout the Upper Valley and benefited from the discussions as well as from the opportunities to network within the computer-related industry. The focus of the UVCIA was broadened in 1997 in recognition of increasing requirements for business and management discussions. As a result, interest in UVCIA programs increased substantially. Several significant changes followed:
The UVCIA would like to enhance its successful scholarship program. Matching grants and contributions from member companies have enabled funding to date. The UVCIA believes it should fully fund a scholarship endowment. To do so, it is seeking the financial support of Upper Valley businesses. |
