Tech-Savvy Gala Honors Clinton, Chu

Government officials, business executives and association leaders who support "technology serving humanity" will celebrate the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on Jan. 20 at the 2009 LINK-live Presidential Inaugural Gala being held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The $1,000 per ticket event -- one of the most wired presidential galas -- will promote the advancements of science, information and communications technologies (ICT) to address workforce development skills, e-government services, healthcare and telemedicine, and research and development of green ICT solutions for energy and environmental challenges.

The gala's steering committee will recognize four individuals for their commitment to science, technology and education in their area of expertise. They include: Secretary of State-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.; Nobel laureate physicist Steven Chu, who is Obama's nominee for Energy Secretary; Gen. James Jones, a retired a former Marine Corps commandant who has been tapped by Obama to serve as national security adviser; and Laura Chinchilla, former vice president of Costa Rica. The LINK-live program will be broadcast live on the Internet. The gala is also using Twitter, ScribbleLive, UStream and Flickr.

The event is being hosted by the LINK AMERICAS Foundation (LAF), The Alliance for Public Technology (APT), The Children's Partnership (TCP), Education Development Center (EDC) and the George Lucas Educational Foundation - Edutopia.
