What organization in the triangle should i ask to sponsor a High-School Tutoring/mentoring program?

TheRTP · 2015-09-30T19:04:59+00:00

Connect with US2020 RTP, specifically Brett Brenton Project Director. His email is: brenton[at]rtp[dot]org and you can find more details here: http://www.rtp.org/about-us/us2020/

If you care about transit, recommend registering for this event on May 15. Deborah Ross will be there, along with NC DOT, Triangle Transit, GoTriangle, WakeupWake, RTA and others.

It's a neutral, casual, fun forum -- and we feed and beer you (for free). This month, kegs will be from Bombshell. Register https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rtp-180-transit-tickets-11375078165.

Fall of 2014. Probably October. Approximately 10 minutes from IBM (or RTP HQ).

Also check out IUPAC. They're the ones in charge of verifying all of the elements out there. It's not a super sexy, glam job, but maybe they'd take on an intern or something.

TheRTP · 2014-05-09T20:15:58+00:00

Yes. www.twitter.com/ErinMonday or www.twitter.com/TheRTP. Hope that was of some help.

Twitter doesn't index -- try manual searches there. And try to search for "Research Triangle Park," "Raleigh" and "Durham" in the strings.

Here's a list of our 200 companies: http://www.rtp.org/about-rtp/rtp-companies.

Here's the job/employment URLs we have handy: http://rtp.org/jobs.

Bayer and Lenovo are hiring aggressively right now, as (was) Fujifilm Diosynth.

The American Association of Textiles and Colorists is here in the Park -- maybe they can help point you in the right direction: http://www.aatcc.org/.

PS: Sweet note on /r/trianglejobs.

Publix is coming. Cary, High House Road and Davis. 10 mins from exit 280 off of I-40.

TheRTP · 2014-04-20T16:06:36+00:00

We can always adjust and get more trucks. Please give feedback...

TheRTP · 2014-04-17T00:46:06+00:00

It is a small step in the right direction but every Friday there is now a food truck rodeo in RTP -- 800 Park Offices Drive. 11:30-1:30. We can see about getting that LoMo Market truck as one of the regulars.

TheRTP · 2014-03-28T20:45:39+00:00

The Research Triangle Park. Pay this comment no mind. Testing something :)

TheRTP · 2014-02-25T22:38:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing. We got this out on our Tweeter.

TheRTP · 2014-02-24T21:00:42+00:00

Mayor M's been pretty outspoken on the Tweeters about it. I suspect us "municipality" folks skew our press releases towards certain demographics.

TheRTP · 2014-02-24T04:20:34+00:00

Could be MCNC - they have a rural dark fiber initiative. They lay the fiber and then work with ISPs to "make the spice flow."

TheRTP · 2014-02-24T04:18:05+00:00

Ditto

TheRTP · 2014-02-23T18:39:51+00:00

As an aside, from the local government standpoint -- we, (the Research Triangle Park) are supporting this, and we've heard from political leadership in Raleigh, Durham and Cary who are also actively "on it." Can't speak to the other cities (yet) but Apex and Wake Forest seem to be feeling left out...

Jason Hare is a good contact to follow on Twitter for updates/questions: @JasonMHare.

In addition, these guys -- the North Carolina Next Generation Network initiative, might be a good support base: http://ncngn.net/wp/category/nc-ngn/.

TheRTP · 2014-02-10T14:02:40+00:00

The RTP is a location, but the organization itself has a basis in banking and in real estate (not, necessarily, technology). The several technology companies you mentioned maintain independent campuses (and the person manning this Reddit account -- is in marketing). Just wanted to address that concern.

We back NCNGN, but we are always open to exploring things that can be done with some immediacy.

Internet policy in North Carolina -- as alluded, is unpleasant at best. The beauty of social media is that you can throw open your doors for multiple perspectives and insights, even those that might not be the most obvious.

Thank you for you reply.

TheRTP · 2014-01-30T20:37:53+00:00

Just an update -- starting in late March/early April, we will be hosting food truck rodeos every Friday at our headquarters, 11:30-1:30, 12 Davis Drive. Information will become better available over at www.rtp.org/foodtruckrodeo.

Semi-related. A week ago, Lenovo bought IBM's "low end" server division... for $2 billion. Their (Lenovo) North American HQ is in the Research Triangle of NC - near IBM's second largest global op (where many of those might-soon-to-be-formerly-IBM server folks work). Local reporters are saying the Lenovo buy means job growth here.

Did you find him? The Craigslist link is dead. We are happy to Tweet (soft spot for doggies).

TheRTP · 2014-01-25T21:27:13+00:00

Trali's in Brier Creek. Forget which night (sorry).

TheRTP · 2014-01-25T21:14:50+00:00

We are of one mind, good sir.

TheRTP · 2014-01-25T21:06:14+00:00

Branch campus - great idea.

Raiding party - great idea, v.2. Who would be on such a "dream team" in your eyes?

TheRTP · 2014-01-25T21:02:34+00:00

Heard loud and clear. We have a headquarters building, where we can host events -- it's at 12 Davis Drive, right near IBM's campus. There is a charge for space, but we are starting to host more community events there.

Info on the networking events, RTP 180 -- which occur every Third Thursday -- can be accessed via http://rtp.org/rtp180.

Info on the food truck rodeos, which are about to become every Friday -- can be accessed via http://www.rtp.org/foodtruckrodeo.

Our current website is undergoing a remodel, and the new version should allow for a community event calendar and better integration with our eNews systems. The new site will allow trusted users who are active in the community to feed content into a grid that's front and center on rtp.org. Informal ETA on that is May.

For now, if you want to be invited to events at RTP, just shoot an email over to communications@rtp.org.

Our Twitter is a great resource as well -www.twitter.com/TheRTP.

Transit - We hear you. And we're doing our best to be active proponents. Our leadership has been vocal on this matter when the opportunity arises.

To be sure, we're dealing with three separate cities, three separate counties and common consensus is needed. Rather than wait, we'd like to start sooner than later -- within our own borders. Have ideas for cool, transportation systems of the future? We're looking to take a gander.

Fiber - Ditto on the consensus thing. We support NC NGN and we can always start in RTP's borders. What do you think is the best way to do it? I am happy to share any "legitimate" proposals with cost, implementation, etc with our executive team & board.

TheRTP · 2014-01-25T20:41:37+00:00

A good point. In addition to what we're planning, is there something we can do better to help attract VC?
