Question: Would some of the 16 Chambers of Commerce support this concept and value the benefits of having a "special tech innovator" group like this idea that once existed in Fairfax Metro DC under IEEE.ORG umbrella ?
Here in Fairfax County of 2 Million residents, we have 16 Chambers of Commerce.
By an large these Chambers consists of small business retailers, service providers
and professionals such as dentists, Medical providers, and home repair guys.
All very important ! But there is no real support structure for the "Tech Biz Innovators"
such as the 1000 SBIR (Small Biz Innovation Research) winners, past and future.
We used of a small tech biz entrepreneurs group under IEEE.ORG, a technical professional society when I was a member of this electrical engineers and physics people mostly for a number of years in the past in my previous career .
Once a month, Saturday, 9:30 AM_11:30 AM, We used to meet at Old Country Buffet at Fairfax and alternating with a Bethesda location. A great speaker typically with a 10 minute presentation and 10 minute Q&A and a sumputous Saturday Breakfast for $5.00 pay directly to the restaurant. No other costs.
People often bought a family member to our events as we encouraged "family garage" inventors and entreprneur types. Typically we got 20 to 50 people attending with pre-registration required.
Below is some stuff I have published that are typical topics of interest to tech innovators but not to retail business or service providers in a Chamber of Commerce.

Tech Innovators Family Circle could exist again with support from some of the Fairfax Chambers as we would encourage our attendees to become members of chambers and still participate in our group events and Forums that are particularl catered to people with life science and physical science or engineering background but with a "tech innovator" bent.
