WASHINGTON – The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), the global voice of the tech sector, released the following statement today from President and CEO Dean Garfield welcoming the announcement of President Barack Obama’s Computer Science For All Initiative:

"Technology has improved our lives and it will continue to transform every industry in our economy," Garfield said.
