We have a winner.(BUSINESS BRIEFS)(Linda Toyota)(Brief article)


Linda Toyota, senior vice president of development at Houston Technology Center (HTC), won a Magellan Roadmate Navigation System by stopping by The NonProfit Times booth at the Association of Fundraising Professionals International Conference on Fundraising in San Diego, Calif.

"This tool will certainly maximize my time and efforts to continue helping make a difference in the Houston community," said Toyota. The GPS drawing received more than 300 entries during the four-day conference.

HTC is the largest nonprofit technology business incubator in Texas and works to accelerate the growth of technology companies in energy, information technology, life sciences, nanotechnology and aerospace. HTC flows millions of dollars of state Emerging Technology Fund money to emerging technology companies and helped more than 200 client companies raise more than $500 million in capital and create 3,000 new jobs. The center strives to make the greater Houston region one of the top technology innovation hubs in the country by 2012.

"The use and development of technology crosses all sectors--business and nonprofits--to enhance product development, productivity and communication and solve critical issues," said Toyota. "Receiving the GPS system is another example of how technology has transformed our lives."
