The state of Viriginia has created a new technology board called the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Investment Authority (IEIA). The thirteen-member board will consist of 12 citizen members and the state’s Secretary of Technology. Of the 12 citizen members, three will be presidents of state higher-education institutions, three each appointed by the governor, state senate and state house. AOL’s Chief Technology Officer, Ted Cahall, has received one of the three state senate appointments.
“The IEIA is an important new organization that will help enhance Virginia’s role as a world technology leader, and I’m honored to have been selected to be a part of this effort,” said Cahall. “I look forward to working with the distinguished group of politicians and citizens on the IEIA to support technology and innovation in the Commonwealth.”
AOL was founded in Northern Virginia in 1985.
