We collaborate across sectors.
The SF Tech Council is made up of 25 member organizations representing business, nonprofit, local government, academia and philanthropy. In addition, the SF Tech Council has a strong network of partners and supporters throughout the city and state who participate regularly in Council activities and events. Together, they work together to identify and actively pursue the supportive policies, funds, and projects needed to achieve digital inclusivity.
The SF Tech Council’s workgroups focus on developing innovative, cross-cutting technology solutions for San Francisco’s older adults and people with disabilities.
Co-Project Directors, Andrew Broderick and Karla Suomala, coordinate the activities, events, and projects of the Tech Council .
