Castro Valley, CA June 8, 2006 --
 
Thorburn Associates, Inc. (TA) and ICIA's InfoComm teamed up to offer a scholarship to one of the attendees of the Technology in Business Schools (TBS) Roundtable in Madison Wisconsin on May 18th.  The scholarship consists of a 3-day on-site training opportunity for Design or Install School at ICIA’s Fairfax, VA facility.  

Steven J. Thorburn, PE, presented the award at the TBS annual meeting.  His session,  “Classroom Technology Considerations in New Construction: How to Make Your Project a Success,” stressed the importance of Information Technology and Audio Visual Managers at colleges and universities to actively communicate their needs to the school’s in-house design team as well as the Architectural and Engineering design team. To truly “future-proof” a technology classroom project, its all about communication and teamwork!

The award recipient is Jim Anderson from the University of Indiana Kelly School of Business.  www.kelley.iu.edu
