The Committee makes decisions regarding MAV Technology’s strategic direction; project funding and support; event programming; vendor sponsorships and partnerships; engagement with State and Federal government; and advocacy for innovative and transformative ICT initiatives. Any member council of MAV Technology can volunteer a representative to join the MAV Technology Executive Committee. Nominations are sought annually.
