Innovation Advocacy Council convening for update on DC budget activities affecting TBED

On June 3, SSTI will host a webinar exclusively for Innovation Advocacy Council members to receive an in-depth update on many of the confusing factors in play in the federal policy and budget environments—the key factors influencing the future of your state, regional and university TBED strategies. IAC partners at Van Scoyoc & Associates will be on hand to provide the latest news from the Hill and answer questions to help make sense of any new developments.

From reconciliation to rescissions to possible impoundment to skinny and full budgets, the FY2025 and FY2026 budget process is one for future history books and too complicated for TBED leaders to stay fully abreast of while meeting your mission objectives. That’s where the IAC comes in! Keeping track of these developments and helping us map our best funding strategies for the best service delivery is why IAC has partnered with the amazing VSA team. 

The Innovation Advocacy Council is the only group exclusively dedicated to educating Congress on the full spectrum of federal investments in public-private technology-based economic development initiatives, efforts proven to help grow stronger regional innovation economies across the entire United States. SSTI and a group of its members set up the IAC more than a decade ago to support and improve the field’s partnership with the federal government. It’s delivered results for the entire community and will continue to do so with expanded support.

IAC members will receive a calendar invite to the call with a Zoom link to join the June 3 call. Anyone interested in renewing or becoming an IAC member before the important update may review IAC membership information here and reach out to SSTI for follow up at contactus@ssti.org.
