The Power of Connection was on display in big and bold ways at the 2024 Digital Ball! Jay Bailey's inspiring post about the development of Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs—a transformative initiative made possible through the powerful connection between RICE and TechBridge, is a shining example of how connections can create social impact, perfectly embodying the theme of the recent 2024 Digital Ball. As we prepare to celebrate 25 years of innovation and collaboration next year, the story of RICE reminds us of the incredible things that happen when organizations unite for a common goal. Together, we’re not just developing technology—we’re building brighter futures. Join us in reflecting on the journey so far, and let’s look forward to what we can achieve in the next 25 years! #DigitalBall2024 #TechBridge #25YearsStrong #PowerOfConnection #EmpoweringCommunities
For nearly 25 years TechBridge, Inc has been standing in the gap helping equip non-profits to increase their impact while also helping to grow a tech focused workforce in our city. All to ensure Atlanta is more ready to provide solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s most pressing digital demands. Little known fact - the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs’ “Theory of Change” was hammered out during the wee hours with Karen Cramer and her then team at TechBridge - they are a big part of our origin story and helped shape our trajectory. So call it a full circle moment to stand with my Leadership Atlanta Classmate, KindaCousin and dear friend - TechBridge CEO Clint Bailey and his host committee to recieve this year’s “Community Leader Award” at the legendary Digital Ball! Thank you to the Board of Directors, the nominating committee, all my fellow nominees, our RICE Team, and Atlanta’s Tech Community - deeply honored by this recognition. Onward! #BuildAsWeClimb
