A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR - SIGNALINK
As owners of Signalink, we wanted to take a moment to share the motivations behind our partnership with the WIT // HSV and toBE FUND.
When we started our journey with Signalink, our vision was to establish a dynamic and innovative presence in the Huntsville community, fueled by a passion for technology and a commitment to making a positive impact. However, as we immersed ourselves in the industry, we observed a notable imbalance that was limiting the sector's potential for growth and advancement.
Our sponsorship of the toBE FUND reflects our belief in the importance of varied perspectives. We understand that innovation thrives when varied experiences and talents come together. By supporting individuals in STEM, we aim to enrich the tech industry with unique skills and insights.
We are driven by the conviction that unlocking potential comes from embracing a range of experiences. When opportunities, guidance, and resources are made available, individuals can transform the tech landscape. We have witnessed remarkable contributions from talented individuals in our field, reinforcing our commitment to WIT // HSV's mission. Ultimately, we believe that creating a supportive environment benefits everyone by enhancing product quality, driving innovation, and ensuring the industry reflects the world it serves.
We appreciate the opportunity to support this shared vision. Together, we can work towards a future where all individuals are not just participants in the technology industry but also leaders, innovators, and champions of change.
Sincerely,
Alice and Steve Lessmann
