Last night, we celebrated BSA’s 30th Anniversary by honoring Sens. Todd Young and Maria Cantwell and Reps. Doug Collins and Hakeem Jeffries as BSA’s 2018 Software Champions during a reception at the US Capitol. Each of these members has worked diligently for issues that matter to the software industry, including driving a constructive discussion about artificial intelligence (AI), helping pass the CLOUD Act, and protecting trade secrets.
The reception also called attention to the economic impact of software, highlighting the growth of software jobs and contributions to R&D in eight states where BSA’s members are located – California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.
We were honored to have our guests join us for this special celebration, including Reps. Suzan DelBene (one of our 2017 Software Champions), Ruben Gallego, Darrell Issa, Hank Johnson, Jim Langevin, and Brad Schneider, as well as former head of BSA Robert Holleyman and representatives from BSA member companies Autodesk, CA Technologies, IBM, Microsoft, Okta, Oracle, Salesforce, SAS, Siemens, Splunk, Workday.
Happy 30th Anniversary to BSA and congratulations to our 2018 Software Champions!
