President's Letter From Stephanie Skinner, Fall 2003 What an interesting year we have ahead of us! A jobless recovery underway in the economy, a presidential election only 13 months away, and here we sit, our industry, the talent industry, right in the cross hairs. Will there be a candidate who will run on the platform of legislation to halt the flow of jobs offshore? Will there be a final American capitulation to a pure service economy, and how will the seesaw drama of the last 10 years affect the choices of today’s young minds? Let the games begin! This issue of Keys2IT introduces a new feature we hope to be including in every future issue: a donor profile. It is particularly noteworthy that this donor, Extensity, hails from the software side of the universe. We have a long way to go to develop a sustaining foundation, so we need your help. We’ve set a goal of raising $100,000 for the Technology Challenge Campaign (supporting the general fund) by the end of 2003. We have long-term goals to take the Open Door to a fully sustained foundation but, given where we’ve all been, we think this is an attractive start. And with your help, and the added support of your clients, the Open Door will be able to continue its life-changing mission. I urge you to help us make a difference to a bright young mind. Not only do you get the psychic benefits, you also get to invest in your own industry, alongside your clients.
