The ITSS Technician Council convened for the first time in September to begin its role of providing guidance and recommendation in response to the emerging and evolving strategic direction of the ITSS. Council members were invited to talk openly about our own areas of work and to consider the sector-wide interventions that we feel would provide most benefit and lasting impact to us.
