During a Board of Directors meeting held in conjunction with Breakaway, CompTIA was directed to: expand its influence on public policy issues affecting the industry; develop new programs to produce a pipeline of skilled tech workers; provide more resources for association members; and become more active in engaging, connecting and informing the industry, media and key leaders about major trends affecting the global IT industry.

“The future direction of CompTIA will be built on these four pillars,” said Robert O’Malley, chairman of the CompTIA Board of Directors. “There are many opportunities for people to contribute to these efforts, and we invite participation from all corners of our industry to join us in becoming ambassadors of all that’s great about the tech industry.”
