Member Engagement

This month, we celebrated National IT Professionals Day on September 19th! This was a day that we recognized the diligent and dedicated professionals who keep the digital world running smoothly and effectively at schools and districts across California. CITE wanted to show their appreciation for all IT Professionals, so we decided to run a giveaway for the first three people who responded to our post about the day. The three fastest CITE Members were: Eric Chau, Puru Pandey, and Peter Cazanis!

Congratulations and thank you for all that you do as IT Professionals! Keep an eye out for future CITE giveaways and contests!
