"The Connected Berkshire partnership is committed to improving the quality of life for all who live and work in Berkshire by creating an awareness of the benefits and exploitation of technology regardless of product or vendor. Our success is due to the drive, focus and determination of all partners from business, community, education and our local government partners with whom we work so closely.  In particular we welcome and look to their continued support for the remainder of 2007 and into 2008."     

Christina Howell
