<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Garamond">2) Issues
Seminar: The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the
different sponsoring companies and associations. Expert speakers
lead discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and
the methods the high technology industry uses for effective

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Garamond">The Summer 2008
Fellowship runs from June 16th - August 8th, 2008. The goal of the
Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial environment in
which a new class of public policy professionals will be mentored to
help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have highly
capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and
senior management positions.</font></blockquote>
