NSTA Expands Throughout the City

 

We have been hosting monthly networking events in and around the Galleria area since 2004. However, in a city of multiple technology and business corridors as Houston is, we need to have representation across the city.

 

In 2010, NSTA will go into those strong technology zones, hosting monthly breakfasts and lunches and other events.

Texans asking NASA for retired space shuttle

 

[STN] As the sun sets on Space Shuttle Program, competition for possession of what remains of the fleet for retired public display is heating up. Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land, is circulating a letter to members of the House to allow Houston, "Space City, USA," to be a home to one of the shuttles. Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn have also signed on to the letter.

See the Space Station Grow

 

[STN] The International Space Station has been with us so long now that we tend to forget that it is still under construction. Oh, we hear that, with almost every Shuttle flight, new modules and parts are taken to the orbiting platform, but we seldom ever see the actual construction itself. Now, USA Today gives us a unique graphic history into the piece-by-piece evolution of the station. Check it out here.

VP/Planning & Development

Chair/Steering Committee

 NSTA is growing and expanding, not only in its reach across the city, but in membership as well. We look for and welcome tech industry leaders, specialists, developers, and decision-makers from every genre within the industry.

 

NSTA is a technology association focused on its members and their respective specialties, which is why we are committee-driven. I invite you to become a member, then a volunteer on the committee of your choice. I can help guide you in that decision.

 

Contact me at 713.979.5288, or by email, Sheila@nsta.info. Let me see how I can help.


 

Houston has made its mark on the world in advanced technology, making the city the prime choice as a showcase destination. That is why we are excited about plans by NSTA to host and produce hi-tech conferences, tradeshows and conventions in Houston.
