Arizona Technology Council Foundation Announces Formation of Start-up Committee

TEMPE, Ariz. Dec. 15, 2005--The Arizona Technology Council Foundation announced today the formation of a start-up committee. This start-up committee will have responsibility for formalizing the structure of the organization and drafting the Foundation's 2006 strategic plan.
