 A field-wide Technology Steering Committee (TSC) was formed in November 2002 to define a clear vision for the technology and infrastructure requirements community foundations need to meet over the next few years. The TSC is co-sponsored by Community Foundations of America and the Community Foundation Leadership Team of the Council on Foundations.
The committee contains more than 20 members spanning the key representative organizations and users groups in the field as well as technology-savvy partners. (For a complete list of members see Sidebar.)
The mission of the TSC is to:
- Build and promote consensus around a vision for future technology development in the field; prioritize areas for investment to reach that vision and oversee selected development projects
- Establish shared minimum development specifications/protocols
- Serve as a strong, single voice to create leverage with vendors
- Promote information sharing, education and training within the field
- Monitor the technology environment for issues and trends that are important to the field.
