MHT names the 2008 Tech Citizenship lineup

By Mass High Tech Staff

Mass High Tech, along with its partner Wilmer Hale, have named the 2008 Tech Citizenship honorees, recognizing 22 technology companies in New England that have excelled at giving back to their communities.

Now in its eighth year, the Tech Citizenship awards have recognized companies both large and small who meet the criteria to be honored — giving back a total of one-half of one percent of their total revenue for 2007, or a minimum of $500,000 in total value for that period. All types of charitable giving is considered when determining the honorees, including cash donations, in-kind contributions and paid employee time for volunteering.

The companies will be honored at a breakfast Friday, Nov. 21 at the Museum of Science in Boston. To register to attend the breakfast event and hear directly from some of the honorees how your company can get more involved, click here. This year’s Tech Citizenship honorees are:
