Youth in Technology Summit
Technology runs the world. In order for
our youth, the leaders of
tomorrow, to fully grasp and maximize their potentials, it is necessary
for them to embrace technology and also be prepared to ride its waves of
changes. This adaptability allows our young people to stay abreast of
the latest technological offerings and be creative with ideas to remain
ahead of the curve.

This approach is aligned with Tau Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity's core values of empowering and educating our youth and
citizens of Southern Maryland. It was not only our duty and our pleasure
to have volunteered for the third annual Youth in Technology Summit in
November at the College of Southern Maryland's La Plata campus, but also
our honor. Many of our members have school-aged children who have
attended the summit in current and past years. Our members understand
firsthand of the benefits of technology and what the summit has to offer
our youth.
TLL Chapter has been a steadfast supporter of the summit since its
inception, in 2008, because we believe the information and workshops
that the summit offers our community are vital. These offerings include
opportunities to network with peers and intermingle with adult
professionals who work in varying areas of technology, post-high school
educational, financial and career planning, workshops and hands-on
interactive technology demonstrations. Tau Lambda Lambda Chapter looks forward to continuing to support the
annual technology summit and other programs in Southern Maryland that
directly cater to the needs of our youth and neighbors. We invite the community to come out next year
and bring a friend. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will be there to
greet you.
