Voices for Innovation

Voices for Innovation (VFI) is a community of IT professionals, including Microsoft partners, engaged at the intersecting points where government, citizens, and IT businesses share concerns. We stay informed—and voice our ideas and concerns—about governmental issues that affect our businesses and the technology sector as a whole. VFI is supported by Microsoft.
