BTAS Incorporated, the presenting sponsor, provided support to the industry- and Defense Department-backed technical sessions, the conference and a scholarship banquet, which resulted in scholarship awards to five colleges totaling $30,000. The chapter has donated more than $1.5 million in scholarships during the last 20 years. The career fair and seminar series hosted 20 booths and hundreds of attendees. Three hundred banquet attendees received commemorative coins from The Coffing Corporation. Peerless Technology Solutions sponsored guest speaker Gen. Lester Lyles, USAF (Ret.).
