“I am proud to be a part of this program. I feel it is a meaningful step forward for TAI in developing Iowa’s technology industry and I look forward to personally working with a group of emerging technology leaders from across the state."

"This experience exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Each course was very well organized and the course topics were on point with today's business environment and presented in a mixture of different styles for maximum learning. ITLI provided me exposure to new experiences I would not otherwise have been aware of and has given me not only a new network of business leaders I can turn to for help and inspiration in the future, but also life-long friends!"

“ITLI started as an educational program, and in its inaugural year, it became the foundation for lasting relationships that will drive Iowa's technology leadership success! I'm so excited to partner with Dave Tucker and the cohort of 2023 to foster innovation and make Iowa the Midwest leader in technology!”

"Thank you for the privilege to be part of this amazing group of leaders. The ITLI experience gave me key insight into leadership skills needed to succeed and excel at the next level, challenged me to think about hard problems from various perspectives, helped me learn about external influences that affect technology, and improved my confidence in my own abilities to lead. Of course, a key component and tremendous benefit of ITLI is that it greatly increased and diversified my state-wide network of technology leaders and trusted peers who I can now call on to help me work through future challenges that I may face. Thank you TAI and our fearless leaders Michelle and Dave!"

“Iowa's technology community has consistently been about helping all to rise. TAI's Technology Leadership Institute is another important example of the benefit of being an Iowa-based, technology-driven company and of pursuing a tech career in Iowa.”

"ITLI pushed me out of my comfort-zone to learn and grow in a way that cannot be found on-the-job or in a typical classroom setting. I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, building my confidence while also learning to be humble and aware of my blind spots. Most importantly, I have formed a network of amazing professionals that build each other up and will support one another through the rest of our careers. "
