Conference on Bridging NC's Digital Divide<br><br>
Chapel Hill, NC - Effective use of Information Technology is necessary
to<br>
succeed, particularly in today's challenging economy. There is a
gap<br>
between those people<font color="#0000FF">, organizations </font>and
communities <s>who</s> <font color="#0000FF">that </font>can make
effective use of<br>
information technology and those <s>who</s><font color="#0000FF">
that</font> cannot.<br><br>
RTPnet's 5th Annual Conference, March 19, 2004, at the William and
Ida<br>
Friday Center in Chapel Hill, will focus on the wide variety of
programs<br>
aimed at bridging North Carolina's Digital/Human Divide. Individuals
and<br>
representatives of nonprofit and social services groups that
provide<br>
access to computers and training are encouraged to attend, as well
as<br>
educators, librarians, computer specialists, and representatives of<br>
grant-making foundations, who want to learn how they can contribute
to<br>
this effort. This event provides an opportunity to build a personal<br>
network of people and organizations active in using computers and
Internet<br>
technology to build a better, stronger community in North Carolina
and<br>
beyond.<br><br>
For the first time, RTPnet Community Technology Awards will be
