"It is essential that companies within the community ensure that future generations have equal access to the computer equipment and knowledge necessary to compete in today's marketplace," said Charles W. Ogilvie, general manager of S1 Corporation. "The S1 Volunteer Day is one of the many ways we are giving back to the community and supporting its future growth."
According to the executive director of TCGA, Chris Miller, "We hope to expose more of the teachers, parents and students in Metro Atlanta schools and communities to technology and its growing importance in the academic, professional and personal arenas. Nothing does that better than having volunteers from local technology companies, such as S1, show a personal interest in helping them learn."
