D.C. Tech Council President Penny Pickett is expected to make several key announcements about activities for the upcoming year at the organization’s annual meeting Wednesday morning.

The organization, which represents about 200 area technology companies, plans to partner with the Women’s High Tech Coalition in 2007 to host a reception for female members of Congress in March. The partnership is part of an overall effort to better connect technology companies with policy-makers, Pickett said.
