The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) announced today that Margaret Anderson Kelliher will serve as its next president beginning January 2011. Currently Kelliher serves as speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives and was recently an endorsed candidate for governor of Minnesota.
This hire is a significant one as it accelerates MHTA’s visibility within the State of Minnesota as well as across the country. The challenges facing MHTA are considerable (e.g., staying relevant as an association; embracing the emergent developer ecosystem in MN; acting as a meaningful catalyst for innovation) and we applaud this hire and wish Ms. Anderson Kelliher incredible success in this new role.
