Longtime advocate of the JOBS Act and crowdfunding in general, Congressman Patrick McHenry will be sharing his perspective a TechVoice Roundtable. TechVoice is a partnership of the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), the Technology Councils of North America (TECNA).
The event is being held to learn about the progress being made toward implementation of the JOBS Act, the status of immigration reform in the House, as well as the continuing debate on tax reform. There are serious efforts underway in Washington to make significant changes on these issues, impacting all businesses, including many small and mid-sized technology companies.
As chairman of the House Financial Services Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, Congressman Patrick McHenry plays a central role in encouraging the SEC to implement Section 201 of the JOBS Act, allowing startups and technology entrepreneurs to raise capital more effectively and efficiently from a wider range of investors through crowdfunding and other measures.
Congressman McHenry will discuss his thoughts on a highly skilled workforce; tax and regulatory policies that promote innovation and growth; the appropriate balance between cybersecurity, privacy and a vibrant social and commercial Internet; access to capital, including commercial lending, and private investment, especially as it relates to the JOBS Act and SEC rulemaking for the JOBS Act; and relevant career and technical training that leads to sustainable employment.
The event will be held on Monday, August 19th, 2013 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
