IT United is designed to deepen the understanding, commitment and support of technology leaders to United Way and to
recognize their deep commitment to service. A team of prominent chief information officers (CIOs) and technology
leaders formed IT United earlier this year. This committee is leading the effort to raise funds among technology
organizations for the 2007 United Way campaign.

Make a difference
"All of us at Daugherty Business Solutions were glad to receive the invitation by the IT United cabinet
to consider sponsoring a corporate campaign. It was an easy decision. I imagine many other organizations
would also appreciate the invitation and enjoy banding together with the Atlanta IT community while making
a difference through United Way. On behalf of my Atlanta teammates, thank you and good luck on a
successful 2007–08 United Way campaign!"
