Tech Networks of Boston makes it our goal to contribute to the community and assist a number of mission-driven and nonprofit organizations succeed with the use of technology. We had a busy month, and would like to share some recent news with you!

• On April 19, Bunker Hill Community College conducted a technology networking night for students to socialize and connect with industry experts and employers, learn the newest trends, and discover career pathways in the technology industry. TNB was represented by Deskside Support Technician Vincent Huynh who did an excellent job sharing his experience in the IT industry to interested students.

• Tech Networks of Boston's IT Consultants helped a nonprofit fair housing alliance migrate their outdated email to Microsoft's Office 365 platform in order to increase collaboration, improve scheduling and document sharing. Being based in the cloud, Office 365 means your colleagues no longer need to be chained to the desk to access company data and be productive. It’s possible to work from mobiles, tablets and laptops on the go - and it’s all backed up by comprehensive security measures.

• TNB was awarded Third Place in the Small Technology Sector at the Green Street's Initiative Awards Ceremony on March 29. Tech Networks participates in Green Street's Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge to raise awareness about how each individual's commute impacts the environment and also to promote healthy and sustainable ways to commute.

• Kathleen Malin, Vice President of Technology and Operations Management at the Rhode Island Foundation, was interviewed as part of a series of female powerhouses who are making their mark in leadership roles.
