ITI Congratulates President Biden and Vice President Harris on Historic Inauguration
WASHINGTON – Today, ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman issued the following statement congratulating U.S. President Biden and Vice President Harris on their historic inauguration:
“Amid an extraordinary period of unease brought about by a global health pandemic, civil unrest, and economic hardship, the Biden-Harris Administration brings the promise of a new chapter and renewed hope for the future.
“Technology will continue to be an important tool in the administration’s efforts to overcome COVID-19 and spur economic recovery, and to maintain America’s global leadership and foster greater opportunity for individuals and families of all communities. From closing the digital divide to modernizing government services to a renewed collaboration with worldwide allies to treating all people with dignity, our industry is committed to working together with the Biden-Harris Administration to meaningfully advance American innovation and prosperity.”
ITI shared its policy recommendations to support U.S. economic recovery and growth with the Biden-Harris Transition Team in December. Those recommendations highlighted the need to invest in America’s essential workforce, build the digital infrastructure necessary to close the digital divide, and adopt innovative technologies to improve the delivery and efficiency of civil services. Additionally, Oxman outlined in a blog post following the November election the ways in which the new administration, new Congress, and industry can all work together.
