Leann Jacobson is a rare find in Iowa: A woman in the technology field. But not just any woman. She's the leader of Iowa's largest technology professional group, the Technology Association of Iowa.
Wednesday November 4 on my Public Relations Princess Internet Radio show, Leann will be my special guest. We'll be talking about the Technology Association, its member benefits and exciting things that are happening in the organization.
Leann and I go way back to the DMAM Rotary Club (man that was a long time ago) and I can't wait to catch up with her and find out more about this great organization.
Leann Jacobson brings over 25 years of business and entrepreneurial experience, including 18 years at AT&T, to her role as president of the Technology Association of Iowa. Her tenure at AT&T included leadership positions in sales, marketing and government affairs – where she retired as regional vice president in 2002. She then founded Capitol Gains, a multi-client public policy firm, and served as its president and chief lobbyist. The firm successfully represented a broad portfolio of clients focused on business, economic development, arts and culture and child welfare.
In May, 2005 she assumed the role of president of TAI.
Ms. Jacobson graduated with highest honors from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management. She is an Executive Committee Member of the Council of Regional Information Technology Associations, has served on numerous non-profit boards, and is the founding director of Iowa Women in Public Policy.
