"Picking Up the Pieces"

September 20, 2007
When the Electronic Industries Alliance voted to disband earlier this
year, the EIA’s various units and lobbyists essentially found themselves
on the auction block. This week another tech group, the Information Technology
Industry Council, announced that it had beat out three other groups for EIA’s
five-person Environmental Issues Council led by Rick Goss.
Goss will become ITI’s vice president of environment and sustainability.
ITI’s top lobbyist, Ralph Hellmann, called the environmental group the “crown
jewel” of the former EIA. “For us, this is going to be a great addition
to what we already do on the energy front and underscores ITI’s commitment
on environmental and sustainability issues,” he said.
The three other associations in the running for Goss’s group were the American
Electronics Association, the Information Technology Association of America and
the Telecommunication Industry Association. The other former EIA employees are
Christopher Cleet, Colleen Pickford, Ha Pham and Valerie Rickman.
ITI member companies include Accenture, Agilent Technologies, AMD, Apple, Applied Materials, Canon U.S.A., Cisco, ca, Corning, Dell, Eastman Kodak, eBay, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, IBM, Intel, Intuit, Lenovo, Lexmark, Micron, Microsoft, Monster, National Semiconductor, NCR, Oracle, Panasonic, SAP, Sony Electronics, Sun Microsystems, Symbol Technologies, Tektronix, Texas Instruments, Time Warner, Unisys, Verisign and Vonage.
