The board meets monthly, and sponsors two major events each year, it's Fall Training Event, and a large conference in March. 

Its members consist of district technology coordinators, technicians, tech resource/integration specialists, Student Technology Leadership Program coordinators and sponsors, library media specialists, general district and school leadership, and classroom teachers who share a passion for the use of technology in learning.
