By: IJIS Institute “We are proud to partner with the IJIS Institute and are gratified they thought our program worthy enough to be the recipient of the proceeds from their Annual Badge & Tech Benefit Gala,” said Judi Westberg Warren, president of Web Wise Kids. IJIS Institute President, Matt D’Alessandro, noted, “The Badge & Tech Benefit Gala began as a celebration for our 10th anniversary, but it was so successful that we have decided to make it an annual event in conjunction with our January Industry Briefing.” D’Alessandro further stated, “Not only is this an opportunity for our members and practitioners to enjoy a wonderful evening of networking, it is a time for us to support worthy causes, such as Web Wise Kids, so they can continue to provide students, parents and educators with hands-on opportunities to safely and ethically use technology.” The 2nd Annual Badge & Tech Benefit Gala is being held in conjunction with the IJIS Institute Industry Briefing on January 18-20, 2012. You may register for the Industry Briefing or purchase tickets for the Gala at the IJIS Institute website or by calling Camille Bechtel at 703-726-3697.
