New Projects

Exciting things are happening all across IPS. We have been working with the Department of Economic and Community Development for several weeks on a grant that will fund training for city and county officials from under-served communities in Tennessee. A team from MTAS and CTAS is planning the project. In addition, several participants from these same communities will receive a scholarship to participate in the 40-hour Basic Economic Development course next spring. Beth Phillips coordinates this project.

And, CIS has been asked to participate in UT's new solar initiative. We are working out the details of this project, but it will affect companies who are willing to install solar panels and improve their organizations in a variety of ways. This is a great opportunity for CIS to expand its customer base. Chuck Shoopman and Paul Jennings are working with the UT Research Foundation on the deliverables.

Congratulations on these new opportunities!
