MiCTA and ACUTA have enjoyed a productive partnership since 2002 and MiCTA is a coporate sponsor for ACUTA for the 2006-2007 year.

MiCTA is a nonprofit association consisting of public and private nonprofit colleges and universities, K-12 systems, governmental and public sector organizations. In addition to its overall efforts to benefit members, MiCTA’s primary effort is to develop sources of high quality communications technology services to members at reduced costs. The organization accomplishes this through a comprehensive RFP process, through which it seeks favorable pricing on a broad range of telecommunications and network products and services.

This partnership serves both organizations by capitalizing on the strengths and expertise of their respective memberships. Both organizations will continue exhibiting at each other’s conferences, to exchange relevant information and to maintain a healthy dialog regarding telecommunications and related issues and programs.
