For the next phase of the selection process, Goodman will participate in a finalist panel discussion focusing on how technology is, and will be used in business, government and education to contribute to competitiveness, efficiency and profitability. Goodman will comment on the full spectrum of technology issues raised by the panel, and when appropriate, apply her specific expertise in the use of technology by small businesses for marketing and business development.

The session - to take place at 5:00 pm on August 3rd at the British Consulate in Cambridge, MA - will be moderated by past NEBATA Award winner William Wray, CIO of Citizens Financial Group.

"NEBATA continues to play a vital role in supporting regional technology businesses, and it's an honor to be recognized as a finalist by such an outstanding and important organization," said Goodman.
