PROGRAM:
ROB GALBRAITH introduced David R McKinnis, Director, Technical Assistance Program. He entitled his talk Purdue "T.A.P.ing Across the State", which pretty much describes what the program is about. T.A.P. exists to preserve and create jobs in Indiana. At the same time it gives assistance to a variety of businesses - from manufacturers to pharmacies - to improve effectiveness and efficiency. The programs make Indiana a better place by sharing Purdue's expertise. Dr. McKinnis had several interesting stories of individual situations where situations were improved with the help of T.A.P. |
