marcorchant This is good news, news that touches the heart, and news that just makes sense.

James Kendrick is reporting that New Mexico Technology Council is renaming its TechEx Award and it will now be called the Marc Orchant Maximum Impact Award. Our community lost a great friend when Marc passed away in 2007. The award will be given to the person or group that epitomizes the best service and impact to the tech industry. Marc was a prior recipient of the award.

Smiles all around.
